"Best-of-class compositing ('blue-', 'green-screening') plugin" for iMovie. But what does it do? Simply put, it allows you to intelligently blend two movies dynamically. This is more than applying a simple transparency mask because it allows you to target any color in one of your movies and make that color transparent. This mask is re-calculated dynamically for every frame in your clip. The best known (and probably most often) example for this technique is a newscaster in front of the white house. The process of intelligently combining two sources is also sometimes called 'compositing'. The technique of replacing a key color with a whole picture is also called 'chroma keying'.
Note: There is a spcialized plug called 'chromakey static' that works with a movie and a (static) picture. Chromakey Movie also works with pictures - but if all you want is compositing pictures and animated material, you should work with the more efficient 'chromakey static' plug.
