Q: How can I use clip A to create a mask for clip B?
Hello. I am having some trouble with my project.
I have a video with subtitles and a subtitle background at the bottom. The subtitle background is at 50% opacity, so you can still somewhat see through it. I want to make it look slick and apply blur to the main clip, but only the part that is covered by the subtitle background. I can't draw the mask manually, because the actual subtitles and the background are animated, so if I were to draw the mask manually I would have to go frame by frame, which would take me literally days.
I hope I made my explanation clear. If not, basically I need to use one clip's area to create a mask area for another clip. The clip is also animated, so the mask needs to adjust accordingly. I've been trying to find a solution with no luck for hours.
Thank you in advance.

then replace the rectangle-mask by a picture-mask:
and put your png (here: that weird looking red blob) into the mask's well ...
finally, you can publish that mask-well:
so, you can drop ANY pic as mask into it ...
let me know, if I should built you such plugin ... I like to practice my skills...
