# Quick Composite

Use Quick Composite for one-step compositing of a front and back clip using a matte clip.

To access the Quick Composite menu, use:

- Timeline, then use ConnectFX (See Creating ConnectFX).

- Tools, then select from the menu.

This node accepts a front, back and matte clip, and outputs a result.

You can use the Front and Back fields to increase or decrease the luminance of the front and back clips. The values specify the gain for the clips. Quick Composite multiplies the luminance values in the clips by the gain values you set. The resulting luminance values are clipped at the maximum and minimum values of 255 (white) and 0 (black), respectively.

Gain is expressed as a percentage value. The default value of 100% has no effect on the image since the luminance values are multiplied by 1. To increase the gain, set the value above 100%. To decrease the gain, set the value below 100%.
