Blending/compositing modes for premiere pro 2

[Murdoc]

I have been using Premiere pro and Final Cut for a while now there are some differences (of course) that I can't cope with. In Final Cut you can right click a clip and select its "composite mode" in photoshop I believe its known as "blending mode". Yet in premiere the only way I found to use this was to use compound arithmatic and select the two tracks . I found this too confusing and takes too long to render. So i was wondering if there were any plugins for premiere that would mimic the final cut option and allow me to double up layers with "composite modes"

If you are confused when I refer to "composite modes" it is the list that ussually appears:

Normal
Add
Subtract
Difference
Multiply
Screen
Overlay
Hard light
Soft light
Darken
Lighten

I don't know if this plugin exist's if it doesnt and there is an easy way to do it in premiere that I missed please fill me in. thanks.

i think one of the moving track matte effects or something like that has a way of doing it but i'm not 100% sure.. and dont have premiere in front of me now - will check later when I get home.

Yeah this has been pissing me off lately. You can get somewhat of a decent result from using the compound arithmetic, but it does not work correctly when the underline footage has been color correct and effects applied.

If any one has a good way to use blending modes like in AE in premiere please don't be shy.
