Can VIdeo Mattes be used in MEP 17 +HD

I create my own transitions using Cool 3D Production Studio. To use them the video editing program must be able to use Video Mattes. Is this possible with MEP 17+ HD? If so how? I've tried everyway I can possibly think of to get them to work.

Here's an example of what I want the end result to look like. This was done using MSP 8. The circle that flies in from the left, then at you. The 2nd video, the one being transitioned to, is seen in the center part.

The answer is yes they can. I finally figured this out. In MSP 8 I had the color of the center circle black. However I was able to assign this center circle as a video matte for the clip I was transitioning to. With MEP, I had to change the color to green, then I was able to just use Alpha, and it picked up the second clip as it should.
