I thought I put together a video showing the layering order for this particular LSJ video. A couple things to note. The lighting element being shown in the top right box in some parts represents a combination of lighting element tracks. In particualr at the end it has both the lazers and the traditional coloring spots. The overall transparency/opacity level is about 55 to 60% for the Light Show track. The second box down on the right shows the next layer underneath which is the keyboard player video recorded surrounded on 3 sides and floor with greenscreen. The video shows a couple things. First it shows the green chromakey tripped to key out the green and then some red tone added to match the Lighting layer above. Then I blew it up full screen for a few seconds to show the difference the cropping down makes. The checkered area represents the transparent zones. The next layer is a .png photo of the Lighing Rig rehersal space. The photo has a tranparent cutout which works well for dropping display video behind the artist. The last layer behind it all is the rolling video backdrop. At about the 1:12 mark of the video I pull everything off except for the Lightshow track and the artist track so you can see how it can work in any virtual setting.
