Your right again...I have tested it now with a video and a MIDI file... Indeed, the transparency of the key color works then, but it really doesn't look good when the transparent color appears over the fingers... It also looks a bit strange when the finger suddenly changes color...
I think it's well solved here... https://piavisio.at/
I'll see how I can do something similar with SeeMusic's other effects....
Maybe you have an idea!?

Ohh, sorry, my mistake... you're right certainly.Here is a new screenshot.I made the screenshot using the livestream cam.I'll try your tipps you wrote in your last post.Should I see the key color that way without using the keyboard effects?
Note: I need the video for a piano tutorial, and it's much easier for a beginner to tell which key to press when it lights up when your finger presses it than when there's just a glow of light above it.

Ok - it just seems like it’s going to be a bit awkward no matter what if the key is transparent above the video. However, I will add a note to try to add an option for key opacity in a future update.

Thank you for sending.
Just a little confused about what the end goal is... you said in the first post that "finger is still visible under the color." Are you using video footage? The screenshot doesn't have any video footage.
If you are using video footage, the best solution would be to:
Make your video 100% opacity, covering the in-app keyboard completely
Use the Lights feature, instead of the keyboard feature, for the light-up color.
Adjust the Lights opacity as you want

Hello, thank you very much for your answer!
Here are the screenshots.
As you can see, all effects are turned off, except for the keyboard effects.
Although the opacity of the keyboard effects is set to 0.25 and the keyboard is almost invisible, the keys glow in red at 100%.
I played a chord to test. Playing the demo song is the same result.
Dear thanks and greetings,
Roman

1. Can you send a screenshot of what you're seeing?
2. Can you also send screenshots of :
- Effect Settings window
- Light Settings window (inside Effect Settings)
- Media Settings window
You can see which window is which by using the tooltips feature - holding your mouse over the buttons on the main screen

I believe setting Keyboard Opacity to a lower value should make that happen?

Yes, I thought that too... But it only makes the keys of the keyboard transparent, but not the color of them (?)
