Effects Mask
Effects Mask enables you to apply effects to a selected area of a clip.

2 Right click the clip, select Effects Mask > Apply. A rectangle indicating the area to apply the Effects Mask appears
on the Monitor panel. Drag the rectangle onto the area on which you want to apply Effects Mask. You can resize
the rectangle using the handles at each corner.
Note: You can also select Clip > Effects Mask > Apply.
3 Select Edit > Effects.
4 Select the effect you want to add to the clip, and click Apply.
The effect is added to the region you selected in the clip. Effects previously added to the clip also move on to the mask.
You can also apply Effects Mask in the Motion Tracking mode.
