  2. Click the key icon to open the key editor.

  3. The key for the background must have the Alpha as key only setting enabled; this prevents a "dirty" key if the background has some level of transparency.

  4. Set Render mode to Blend.

  5. Add a key function to the front_objects container. The Alpha as key only setting must be disabled, and Render mode must be set to Add, to prevent foreground objects from creating a hole in the background object's key signal.
