Creating a Mask
Masks
are controlled using the Wipe schematic. When you create a mask,
an Axis node and Geom node are added to the schematic. The Axis
node contains all the rotation, scaling, and position data, and
the Geom node contains all the information about how the mask will
affect the image (softness, opacity, alpha, axis offset).
To
create a wipe mask:
- From
the Wipe Editor, click Mask.
- Select
Geometry from the Element box.
- Click
Add, or select Create from the Edit Mode box.
TipYou may want to display the outgoing or
incoming clip while drawing the mask since the composite is created
in Result mode.
- Click
the image to create the first point.
NoteIf you are drawing a mask freehand, press Shift and then press down on the
cursor to draw the mask. When you release the cursor, the mask closes
automatically.
- Click
again to draw the second point.
NoteIf you are not in Auto Tangents mode, you
can still create a tangent while setting a point by clicking and
dragging the cursor.
- To
close the mask, click Close or click the first point.
