3 To adjust the default shape that appears in the Viewer, do any of the following:
Drag this handle to make
the shape rectangular.
Drag the outer edge
to control the softness.
Drag any of these
handles to change the
shape’s width or height.
Drag the center circle
to move the shape.
Drag this handle
to rotate the shape.
 To position the shape: Drag the center.
 To adjust the shape’s width or height: Drag any of the four handles at the 90-degree
points (top, bottom, left, or right) of the inner circle. You can hold down the Shift key
while dragging to force all sides to scale proportionally.
 To control the roundness of the shape: Drag the handle to the left of the inner circle’s
top handle.
 To rotate the shape: Drag the rotation handle (extending from the center).
 To control the softness of the shape’s edge: Drag the outer circle. Setting the outer
circle close to the inner circle creates a hard edge and an abrupt transition to the
corrections you apply, and dragging the outer circle away from the inner circle
creates a softer edge and a more gradual transition.
 To hide the mask’s controls: Click the Shape Mask onscreen controls button in the
Shape Mask area of the Color section of the Video inspector.
