mask fits exactly over the image element to be edited. Please read more on this in
the section "Position/size" (view page 134).
• Yo
u can attach the mask to the position in the video so that it moves together
with the image element. To find out more, read "Attach to picture position in the
video (view page 157)".
• Or an
imate the effect mask object directly. To proceed, please read the "Animate
objects" (view page 145) section.

and load it using the "Load effects mask" option in MAGIX Video Pro X6.
