You can reverse masks: To do so, click on the arrow in
the mask effect object which appears as soon as you
place the mouse cursor over it. All dark areas will become
light and all light areas will become dark. By clicking again,

Create overlay graphic/animation
Create vector graphics or animations in an external editor such as Xara
Designer Pro in order to use them as overlay objects in MAGIX Video Pro X4. A
typical use scenario would be to draw an object in order to darken certain
portions of the video, such as a black bar to cover a person's eyes. Overlay
objects aren't bound to the source material by grouping. They can me moved
and edited as you please.
