Dirt Hits

Hello I've got a little problem,
I downloaded a dirt hit from detonationfilms, with a black background.
I know how to put it on the tracks and I know what compositing mode I need to use.

But when I use "Screen" on the top track, I get this result. And the explosion is kind of transparant.

You see the small border?

How about Chroma-Keying the black background on the top track? That should get rid of the rest perfectly.

It's not much, but it is a at least a test video

I will post some faster explosions if you want.

Yep, that certainly looks pretty good. More like a nuclear explosion though than a dirt hit!

I'm working on a dirt hit right now. I will post the result.

Yes, of course there is another problem on my path to make a nice dirt hit. I downloaded a dirt hit from detonationfilms, with a white background. And if you chroma key this, it looks really cheap. but if I use multiply (mask) in compositing mode it look pretty nice, but when I want to move the dirt hit to another position I get this.

Could anyone help me?
