Create effects masks
Create effects masks with MAGIX Video Pro X6
Effects masks help you to apply effects in different areas of one video image with
varying intensity. A specific image is used as a mask to determine the specific areas
where the effect should be applied.
Typical application include:
• Image optimizations: A typical example are horizontal camera pans of the
horizon, where the lower or upper image area should be made brighter or color-
adjusted.
• Eye-catching color gradients, colorations, etc.
• Special effects such as pixelation of a car license plate.
Effects masks are regular image objects, and as such may be animated or attached to
a certain image position to use them as moving video images.
Proceed as follows:
• Select the object in the arrangement to apply the
effects mask to.
• Open the desired effects page in the Media Pool.
• In Media Pool, set the effect parameters which should be applied with the effect
mask. These must be parameters from the "video effects" area (without "speed"
and "chroma key").
• Click on the button with the arrow pointing
down on the effects page and select "Load
effects masks" from the menu.
In the folder that opens you will now find templates for SD and HD material. Double
click on the mask that you would like to use. The brighter the area in the effects mask,
the stronger the effect will be. Black indicates no effect, and white indicates full effect.
If you use your own color images, only the brightness values will be used.
