Move the playhead to the next point in the clip where you want to define the shape mask’s
position, reposition the shape mask, and add the second keyframe.
6
To reposition the shape mask throughout the clip, continue adding keyframes until you’ve
defined the shape movement you want.
When you’ve added all the keyframes, you can play the clip to see the shape mask move
between them. For more information about working with keyframes, see
on page 247.
Add shape masks to a color mask
Often when you create a color mask, more areas of the video are affected by it than you would
like. For example, there might be a red car on the left side of the screen that you want to color
correct, and a red stop sign on the right that you don’t want to affect. In this situation, you can
add one or more shape masks to restrict the color mask to the areas defined by the shape masks.

the color mask to affect.
