Blend modes are effects applied to a layer that change how its colors interact (blend) with those on underlying layers, allowing you to achieve different visual outcomes. Users can apply one of 16 available blend modes to image, video, text, and shape elements.
By default, the blend mode in Studio is set to Normal.

Tips
- If you place a black rectangle on top of an image and then apply the Color blend mode to it, everything below the rectangle becomes black and white.
- You can only apply one blend mode to an individual layer. However, if you place the layer in a group, then you can apply a separate blend mode to this group. This way you can stack more than one blend mode on top of each other.
