Ma s k i n g i n v i deo Masking is a tool i that allows you to target effects to a specific area or section of your video clip or image. It also allows you to cut out something or even place something on top of your video or image. That means, if you want to combine two clips into one, you can. You just have to mask the videos, images or video/images.

Masking in video 01. >Create New Project/ New Composition if you dont have a project already active ( refer to tutorial one for composition >Drag mp4( footage) and still mage into the project panel >Drag image and footage into the timeline Locate image layer above footage layer Creating a Mask 02. >Select layer/ image you would like to mask >Select pen tool and then select area you want to delete/ mask.
