I'm glad you got it to work before 6.5 was released.
Alpha is supposed to be full on in 6.5. You won't have to
Do alpha matte.

Thanks Jerry for the tip,
And regards to shadow I made a copy, i used alpha matt, mask ,opacity ,layouter for size and key frame ,blur and color balance. it works but not as good as yours I have to play a bit more with, I am not sure whether you do the same way.
Appreciate your help.

Are you getting the Key display from the original file? Once you export that link the export with the original and then try the alpha matte. Make sure you look at the settings on the bottom of the alpha matte panel and match what I have.

The clips must be the same type. Are they?

Yes they are

OK, one more time here. I did not spend any time working the key in the video. You will have to do that.
Follow this exactly. You will notice when it comes time for the alpha matte process, I tried twice on a couple of files to match and they do not work.. Not, until I choose the correct one do you get the alpha matte drop down to activate.

This is over two minutes. So if you can play it as you do the same, it might help you that way.
If not, maybe the seductive smile that the model gives will help :)

Did you follow all of the steps in the video?
If you do it will work. I was.changing the size
Of the.key without it changing the background.

Don't worry about the plane shadow. Figure out how to to the alpha matte first.

I think you should watch the free tutorials.
Look in my signature.
Try to educate your self in EDIUS by doing at least some work. (waching tutorials or a search in the manual)

The effect:
In the information pallet move the mask in front on the layouter or move the layouter behind the mask

so you get:
Mask
Layouter. (see attachment)

About the mask set the outside opacity to 0 (see attachment)

Like I said i did not use this kind of mask wasn't familiar with this,

moving the mask front of layouter had no clue, but this time i got

clear info. from you is working now ,and i thank you all of you for your help

There are a few good ways to do it.
The alpha matte is the easiest if you are a new EDIUS user.
