COURSE DESCRIPTION

Masks allow us to modify or hide portions of an image. While most often used in chroma (or green-screen) keys, masks have a wide variety of uses.

In this two-part webinar, join host, Larry Jordan, as he illustrates how to create, modify and use masks in Apple Final Cut Pro X. During this webinar you will learn how to:

• Use the Trim and Crop tools in the Inspector
• Use Mask effects such as Shape, Graduated, Vignette, Image and Draw
• Use the built-in masking tools in all effects
• Use masks in chroma-keys
• Use masks in color correction
• Use keyframes to track a mask

Masks have a wide variety of uses, both to fix problems and create effects. Once you learn how to use them, you’ll never stop.
