5 Move the playhead to the next point in the clip where you want to dene the shape
mask’s position, reposition the shape mask, and add the second keyframe.
6 To reposition the shape mask throughout the clip, continue adding keyframes until
you’ve dened the shape movement you want.
When you’ve added all the keyframes, you can play the clip to see the shape mask
move between them. For more information about working with keyframes, see “Video
animation overview” on page 270.
Add shape masks to a color mask
Often when you create a color mask, more areas of the video are aected by it than
you would like. For example, there might be a red car on the left side of the screen
that you want to color correct, and a red stop sign on the right that you don’t want
to aect. In this situation, you can add one or more shape masks to restrict the color
mask to the areas dened by the shape masks.
Add a shape mask to a color mask
1 Select a clip in the Timeline, and use the Video inspector to add a color mask to it.
2 Apply a color correction using the Color Board, and note areas of the video that you
don’t want the color mask to aect.
For more information about working with the Color Board, see “Color correct the
whole image” on page 414.
