This cool overlay effect can add a nice touch to your videos.
With some creative use of nodes, you can create a Glassy image or text overlay onto your footage.
One of the key techniques here is adding a a Media In node to a Fusion composition, and setting it to Background. This will allow the comp to pull in the track underneath it on the timeline.
Because the background relies on a lower track, you can easily save this as a preset by dragging the Fusion composition clip to your media pool for later use.
