Creating a Cutout
Creating a cutout is similar to creating a graphic. In
the CutOut menu, you use the same controls as you would in the Graphics menu
to select, copy, hide, move, rotate, resize, delete, store, recall,
push, and tack cutouts.
To
create a cutout:
- Click
CutOut.
- Click
Add.
The CutOut Shadow options appear.
- To
limit the area of the cutout with a matte, enable Use in the Matte
controls.
- Select
an option from the Shadow Type box.
The Shadow Type box determines how the cutout
will be pasted onto the result clip. See
Pasting Cutouts.
- Click
Attributes.
- To
create a cutout that spans the entire clip, enable Sequence.
- Click
one of the four Cutout commands. See
Using the Cutout Commands.
NoteTo use the GeoCut option, select all the
objects you want to use in the cutout in the Graphics menu before
clicking the GeoCut button.
- Draw
the cutout on the image.
- Set
the resolution to be used when updating the object.
The object appears at full resolution when it
is drawn. See
Setting the Object Resolution and Display.
- Set
the cutout's position using the transformation box or controls.
- Set
the cutout's colour using the Current Colour pot.
- Click
Tack to permanently place the object on the result clip.
Once the object is tacked down, it cannot be
moved, rotated, deleted, resized, or copied.
