But what you might not know is that our editor Filmora lets you do the same thing, but for videos! Yup, you can easily blend your video layers together, with all the layering options found in Photoshop.

What is a blending mode?
A blend mode lets you combine your clips together using its preset settings like transparency, brightness, and color values. The one you will use depends on the context and the files you want to use in your video.

To blend any two clips together, put one on the PIP layer and one on the top layer in the timeline. Then double click on the bottom most PIP layer, select compositing and choose your desired blend mode.
