The Overlay Step provides an additional track where you can place videos and images to enhance introductions and credits. An alpha-channel is automatically applied to clips placed in this track for transparency. By using an animation style such as fade-in and fade-out, you can interweave two clips, one in the Storyboard Track and another in the Overlay Track, in one timeline. You can even have three separate clips playing simultaneously by adding a clip in the Title Track.
