How do I delete magnetic mask from my video inspector in fcp?

I filmed a wall with a black board on it, and panned from left to right.

In FCP, I added a tracker to this clip, adjusted it to match the black board, and clicked analyze.

I called this tracker "board" for easy reference (otherwise you end up "Object tracker", "Object tracker 2", and so on...).

I added an image as a connected clip (but could be a video too).

I used the Distort tool to match the corners of the image to the corners of the black board.

Then I selected the Transform tool in the Viewer, clicked on Tracker at the top and selected the "board" tracker. Here is a gif of what I got. Pretty good for something done in just a few minutes, I'd say. Now your work is a tad more complicated, as it appears that there may be movement in front of the screen. But that can be handled rather easily with a magnetic mask.

Select the magnetic mask effect in the Inspector, or one or more individual mask inside the effect, and press delete.

Thank you Luis. So simple.

Any chance you can guide me on the second part of my query?

That second part is rather vague.

FCP comes with many built-in effects, and there are a lot more that one can get from third parties (plus we can make our own using Motion).

My first advice concerning effects (and... transitions!) is "don't overdo it", that is, just because you can, don't make your videos more complicated than they need to be. Use effects to achieve some intended result, and not just because they're there.

As you experiment and try to achieve some particular results, you can come up with questions that are more specific, and there are plenty of people here to help.

Please tell us what you are trying to achieve, maybe it is simpler than you imagine.

Without knowing, there is very little we can say to help.

Motion is amazing, but if you are starting with FCP, it is probably best to leave Motion aside for now. Maybe FCP can do what you want, or maybe you can get (or someone here can provide) an effect that will work for you.

What is it that you are trying to achieve?

Would it be possible to see a screenshot?

A screenshot like Tom requested would help. I am thinking that this might be doable by using a tracker in FCP.

With the tracker selected in the Inspector, I see this - note the Analyze button at the top left.
