Color/exposure changes not restricted to draw mask

The draw mask is cutting the clip is that right? It’s applied to a compound clip with multiple adjustment layers. If the draw mask is properly closed only the area inside the drawback will be seen in that layer.

I have no idea what you're trying to do -- you have adjustment layers all over the place.

Effects on a clip are **layer ordered**. If you want to limit the color correction to just the area of the draw mask (which should be cutting away unwanted portions of your clip), then apply the color correction **after** the draw mask. In FCPX, that means you should drag the color correction down below the draw mask effect. It should then only apply to the region of the draw mask.

You can simply click on the label bar (name) of the Color Board (or whatever version you're using) and drag it below the draw mask. (It needs to be applied to the same clip as the Draw Mask... not a separate clip).

I can't tell. It may be in at the adjustment layer. It may be in the clip. I don't see the underlying clip in the viewer. The use of multiple adjustment layers makes this impossible to decipher without being at the computer.

You need the same points. Start from the most complex point of the mask animation and work from there.

Sounds like you’re trying to mask a correction? Is that right? A freeze mask applies to the clip. Maybe post s as screenshot of the timeline to figure out what you’re trying to do.

Do you have two layers of the clip one on top of the other. The draw mask cuts everything except the face on the top layer. Make sure the mask is closed.
