Replace the Mask video filter with 3 new filters:
- Mask: Simple Shape
- Mask: From File
- Mask: Apply
The new Mask: Apply filter makes it potential to masks filters with out utilizing a number of tracks! Use Mask: Simple Shape or Mask: From File to start out the filter masks adopted the video filters to be masked adopted by Mask: Apply to use the masks to the filters in between. Filters earlier than or after the masks filters have an effect on the complete video body. One can nonetheless use Mask: Simple Shape or Mask: From File to have an effect on the alpha channel for multitrack compositing as earlier than. This makes them appropriate with present info and tutorials that recommend utilizing a number of tracks in addition to enabling collage/montage or transition results when the tracks don’t use the identical clip.
The new Mask: From File is a robust new video filter providing 3 modes:
- Wipe transition (inventory or customized)
- Channel > Brightness from a video or picture file (File > Custom…)
- Channel > Alpha from a video or picture file. Moreover, Threshold might be animated with easy or keyframes, which is particularly good when used with luma-wipe picture information (inventory or customized). Not solely are you able to wipe on a masked filter but in addition you should use this as a substitute technique to make a wipe transition utilizing a number of tracks (as an alternative of similar observe transition).
