To draw a garbage mask:
1 Access the Garbage Mask menu.
2 Select the view where you want to draw the mask from the View box.
Which view you use depends on the context of your key and why you are drawing the mask. For
example, if you want to crop the edges of a clip by drawing an opaque mask around the subject and
then turning on Outside, try drawing the mask using the Matte view. Or, if you are rotoscoping a
subject that has not been shot on a blue or green screen, try either the Front or Result view.
TIP In ConnectFX or the Modular Keyer, you can use multiple viewports as you draw the garbage mask. For
example, you can draw the mask in Matte view, while also displaying Result view. Using multiple viewports,
you can immediately see how your mask affects the clip.

■ Click Add.

4 Do any of the following to draw the garbage mask:
■ Click to add vertices.
(a) Vertex added by first click (b) Vertex added by third click
