Freeform unable to mask drawings with shapes (like photos)

There doesn't seem like a way to mask parts of a drawing with shapes.

This is a bummer, as it's useful when storyboard to be able to crop parts of a drawing to crop in frame.

Why can't you crop drawings with shapes, like you can with photos?

Anyone?

Freeform is great but missing a key option... So you can freely draw in Freeform and then erase any parts you don't want, cool. Or you can make shapes and lines and arrows, also cool. What would be super cool is if you could make a shape and then use the eraser tool on a part of the shape. Maybe include an option in the shapes context menu that would let you "convert to drawing". Any chance of this being added at some point?

Drawing on a Freeform board on MacOs A suggestion for Freedom: add the drawing function also on the MacOS version. I have an iPad but also a Wacom Cintiq which I use the most. Bit annoying that there is no drawing tool in the Freedam app on MacOS

How can I publish a control found rounding the corners of the Title Background in FCP? These are the steps I was taking, and then I got stuck... Created a new Title project in Motion and deleted the default Text layer. Created a Rectangle and sized it to perfectly cover the entire canvas. Duplicated the Rectangle shape, changed it's Fill color, and lowered it by approx ~1/3 on the canvas. Added a slow overshoot behavior to have the second rectangle move into position within ~1 sec. Placed these two rectangle layers behind the Title Background layer. Then, on the Properties tab of the "Title Background" layer, I cropped in 25px all the way around. This seemed to work. And when I applied this new title t to a to a clip in FCP, the clip appears in the Title background layer, with a 25px frame just like I wanted. But... I want to publish a control to the title, that will allow me to round the corners of the clip. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
