After Effects: Applying blending modes to video

Demo summary
The instructor demonstrates changing a video layer's blending mode to 'Screen' to make black pixels transparent for a steam effect.
Step-by-step
- Locate the Mode column in the timeline
- Click the dropdown menu for the specific video layer
- Select Screen from the list of blending mode options
Options
- Choose from a variety of blending modes in the pop-up menu
Tips
