DESCRIPTION

Masks remove portions of an image. Video editors have been doing this for a long time using the Crop tool. However, in Motion, we have a LOT more options. In this webinar, watch host Larry Jordan illustrate all the different ways we can use masks:

• Create simple geometric masks
• Modify masks using the HUD or Inspector
• Add backgrounds and combine masks using blend modes
• Apply filters to masks
• Animate masks using behaviors
• Create masks using free-hand tools
• Add curves to masks using Bezier curves
• Animate masks using keyframes
• Create infinitely curved shapes using B-spline masks
• Motion track masks

If all you know about masks are the masking tools in Final Cut Pro X, you are missing a LOT!! Watch this webinar and discover the power of masks in Motion; and never look at masks inside Final Cut the same way again.

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This intermediate-level training assumes a basic operational knowledge of Apple Motion 5.
