Re: [FCP-L] Best way to Matte White Screen

It's who you ask...and whether they're pushing half the story.

Additive color mixing, like light and video and things that emit,
mixes all colors into white.

Subtractive color mixing, like paint and ink and things that reflect,
mixes all colors into black.
