I NEED HELP WITH THE DRAW MASK



Hello co-workers

I've been having trouble with the draw mask tool for a while.

When I'm done, the black part stays on the video and that is not the intention.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong and can anyone help?

thanks in advance

When you add a draw mask, usually the part inside the mask is kept and the outside becomes transparent, so the clip underneath it is visible. Optionally, you can click the "Invert" button, so it... inverts, and only the part of the clip outside the masked area remains visible.


So all you have to do is uncheck the "Invert Mask" box.

Note that the selected clip is partly over a gap clip, and partly over another clip.


At the playhead position, the clip under the mask is the gap clip, so the part that is masked out is showing the default black background.

Move the playhead a little bit to the right, so it is on the other clip and not the gap.
