Compositing Using Key
This makes a portion of the video transparent and composites it onto
a background video.
With key composition on the VR-4HD, you can take video that has
been composited using Picture-in-Picture and the like, and further
composite it with text or other video.
KEY
For instance, you can carry out two-screen composition of live video
feed from two cameras, then use key composition to add a program
logo input from a computer.
Luminance Key
This takes video in which white or black areas are made transparent,
and composite it overlaid on a background picture.
Using luminance keying lets you superimpose logos or text on a
background picture.

different background video.
