Understanding masks in Pinnacle Studio
The masking process starts by adding a dedicated Mask track above the clip or track that you want to mask. From there, you can choose between two types of masks:
• Shape mask: To change the opacity, add a border, or edit specific areas for color or other filters, use a Shape mask.
• Panel mask: Lets you import assets to a 2D mask object and apply 3D motion to the object.
Layering masks
You can apply only one function or filter to a Shape mask (and its corresponding Matte area). You can create new mask tracks to layer masks. You can also layer Panel masks.
