[ This is an excerpt from a recent webinar: “New Features in Apple Final Cut Pro 11” which is available as a download in our store, or as part of our Video Training Library. ]

EXCERPT DESCRIPTION

The new Magnetic Mask is nothing short of amazing. Whether you want to remove a background, improve a color grade, or apply an effect to only a portion of the clip, the Magnetic mask is your new tool of choice.

In this demo, Larry Jordan illustrates what it is, how to use it, how to automatically track a moving object and how to apply it as part of a color correction.
