You will be fine if you open the properties page of the generated black
and pull the alpha down to 0.

Maybe I'm thinking in too much of an After Effects workflow, but the
graphics don't make sense to me.
In AE I usually create a layer, Add one graphic element to it. Do
this on many layers. Each layer has it's own transfer mode,
transformation settings, and motion blur option.
Well in DS it's obvious how to add graphics to a clip using a node or
clip effect. But I don't like that the graphics are married to a
track effect or clip. I want them on their own layers for control.
Furthermore I can't find for the life of me the motion blur for
graphics. All I can imagine is to add a DVE to each element and do
Motion Blur that way. Which seems insane but I guess doable.
So my problem is how can I add a DVE after a graphics node or clip and
have it effect only the graphics but still have the graphic lay over
the video with proper alpha and other blend modes?
Meaning when you add a graphic effect to a clip, you can make say text
where the outline is in 'overlay' mode, the fill is blurred and
dodged. That's fine. But now I want to animate it with a dve (to get
motion blur) but I can't seem to separate the graphics from the clip
to DVE it then lay it back over the clip with the correct compositing.
I tried putting graphics on a generated black clip, but it seems there
is no correct compositing. It just stays black. Not like ae where
there is auto alphas with everything generated (like text and strokes).
What am I missing?
How can I get it to function like After Effects. Surely the DS
wouldn't leave out basic functions that a $999 program has.
