I just learned how to use Bezier masks, but they seem to work on the whole layer, not individual events.

View Full Version : Is it possible to individually assign a layer mask to an event FX?

Douglas Spotted Eagle July 13th, 2007, 11:26 PM Bezier masks work *only* on an event. The only way to access a Bezier mask is via Pan/Crop, which cannot be applied to an entire track/layer. Maybe I misunderstood your question? Emre Safak July 14th, 2007, 09:50 AM Let's say I have several FX applied to a clip. How do I keyframe the mask for each FX? Graham Bernard July 15th, 2007, 02:23 AM Let's say I have several FX applied to a clip. How do I keyframe the mask for each FX? Are you saying a MASK = a FX? Are you using the term "FX" as being a "MASK"? If this is the case then an Event can support many FXs. In which case, use the Keyframer Timeline and apply the FX parameters there. But maybe I have misunderstood your question? Or maybe you have discovered yet another way of doing things! I have never been able to apply a Bezier Mask to a whole Track. But I can apply a Bezier Mask to a Nested Veg project that I have imported to take UP a whole track. And there again, I AM using the Bezier Mask on the Nested Veg - which in this case is treated AS an Event. Grazie Emre Safak July 15th, 2007, 08:35 AM I wonder if I am using the wrong terms! What I want to do is to have FX1 apply to one portion of the screen, and FX2 apply to another portion of the screen, then I want to animate these portions with key frames. Both FX are associated with one clip. I use mask to mean "portion of the screen". Graham Bernard July 15th, 2007, 09:54 AM I wonder if I am using the wrong terms!

Both FX are associated with one clip. I use mask to mean "portion of the screen". Ah! Now I DO understand what you are wishing to achieve. No, I don't know of a way to do that - within ONE Event. So: 1] - Track1 Event1 FX1 with Mask1 2] - Track2 Event1 FX2 with Mask2 This ways you've got complete control over the detail of the piece. This is the way I would do it! Grazie Mike Kujbida July 15th, 2007, 10:30 AM Assuming you're talking about using bezier FX only, I agree with Grazie. I did this last year on a chromakey that (due to sloppy lighting) required up to 3 masks to get rid of the crap portions of the backdrop :-( |
