Multiple Mattes Media Structure

You can create a folder structure to store multiple matte clips by creating a multimattes folder instead of matte. The multimattes folder must contain a subfolder for each matte sequence to be included in the multi-channel clip, as in the example below:

Simple source clip (one clip in one folder) with multiple matte media:

This structure creates a 4-channel Multi-Channel clip (media + 3 mattes) with a matte on channels 2, 3 and 4.

Note: The multimattes subfolders do not have to conform to any particular naming convention. You can name the multimattes subfolders as you like. Lustre sorts the subfolders and the mattes in alphanumeric order.

Simple source clip (one clip in one folder) with "matte" and "multimattes" structure:

You can also mix and match the matte and multimattes structure, as in the example below:

This structure creates a 5-channel Multi-Channel clip (media + 4 mattes) with a matte on channels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
