I’d just keep the audio and the shorter clip in a designated folder and import them as I needed them - only takes a few seconds to import 2 files and it gives you more options. If so then no I don’t know of a way of doing it with a single clip and tbh I wouldn’t. If I understand you correctly (not sure I grasped it properly earlier) - 20 second clip but wanting a fade out at the 10 second mark to introduce new video whilst the remaining audio plays out? If you want more hands on, step by step instructions there are a few decent tutorials on YouTube if you just search “shotcut chroma key”. When you create a clip to be chroma keyed later you don’t have to use green if it clashes with the rest of your clip - you can use any colour you want because you can use the dropper tool to pick any colour to be treated as transparent, but prerendered clips will usually be based on green or blue.

When you play it back or export what you’ve done, you will see the video of someone moving their phone over their hand but on the screen of the phone you will see the image or clip that you put on V1 as if the phone was seeing through the hand and the table. Apply the simple chroma key filter to V2 which is preset to the most commonly used shade of green - there is a slider on there too to adjust it’s sensitivity if you need it. Put anything you want on V1, preferably a still image. It IS possible to make a video with a transparent background using Hitfilm Express, but the resulting uncompressed AVI file required will be ENORMOUS compared to MP4.Īnd put it on V2. Apply the chromakey filter (the “simple” version is good for most applications like titles) to your title on V2 and the footage on V1 will show through as if the title were transparent as you want. The default colour for chromakey is a bright green but you can use any colour which is as far away from the colours in your video as possible and use the eyedropper in the chromakey filter when you apply the effect.Įxport the result which can then be imported as a single track and placed on V2 in your new video with the footage you want to show through the “transparent” section on V1. Put your existing audio on an audio track, your existing video on V2 and a coloured panel on V1 the same length as your audio (Either import a colour or create/DL a plain coloured panel elsewhere and import the image). I would personally use Chromakey as john_solo suggested.
