Changing the Priority Order of Masks

When you create several garbage masks on an image, you can change the order in which they are drawn, or layered in the scene. This affects the resulting image because a mask with a higher priority has precedence over one with a lower priority. You can use the priority order to create complex effects involving multiple garbage masks.

To set the priority of a mask:

1. Select the mask.
2. Click Push to move the mask down a layer; click Pop to move the mask up a layer.
   NoteYou cannot animate the priority by setting Push and Pop at different frames. When you set a mask's priority with Push or Pop, it is set for the entire clip.
