Masking In Final Cut Pro: The Ultimate Guide

I’m thinking of downloading the iPad Pro app does masking work on that version as well?

Thank you so much for all your videos
I just have one question : is there an easier way to do the text behind subject effect ? Using a tracker maybe ?

Hi Serge. Thank you for your video. How can I do let's say, objects come from behind my shoulder during the videos? What type of mask do I need to use?

Hi Serge, can you please please make an updated video of AUDACITY and on topics like:

1. How to remove the background noise and make your audio sound like a podcast with perfect bass boost/loudness etc
2. Settings people can select for voiceovers in audacity

I record my voice using a FIFINE K678 mic and my mic remains connected to my iPhone using a “Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter”. I detach my audio during edit and try to fix it however end up messing up my audio because I try too much edit- IMovie noise options (lower volume of other clips, auto, reduce background noise)/audacity/Final Cut pro. Not a fan of adobe podcast as it kills the originality of the mic sound totally!

If you find time, please consider this request, it will be really helpful 🙏 and also a sincere thanks for all the guidance and knowledge so far 🙂

Really excellent tutorial. I knew some of this but you made the rest crystal clear. Thanks!

Thanks for the guide! Been masking for a while, but had no idea about Corner Mask - I'm running the latest edition on Mac and can't find it anywhere? Working on a scenario pretty much identical to the one in your example and could really use it, is there any way to download it as a plug-in?

I absolutely love the clarity and utility of your videos Serg!!!

This was such a good guide to masks! I had always used them with some what trepidation but this makes me excited to try out some new techniques :D Thank you!

Serge: nice video, BUT it would have been more helpful had you introduced where the masks are. I have not used one before and had to search around to find it in Effects. Just sayin....

Thanks Serge

Nice job Serge! Your videos are always so informative, clear and concise. Thanks!

These are some powerful tips Serge.

Much appreciated.
Are you primarily using FCPX?

Great tutorial.thank you

Awesome video!

Thank You Serge , thank you for your time and all you do... I only do family travel videos for memories and you help me be more creative and more fun videos to watch.

Great vid Serge!

Always enjoy your tutorials ... thanks Serge!

I'd love to see getting rid of things in a video with the shape mask.

I think you need a sequel to this video, because right now it is not ULTIMATE without touching stuff like b-spine, bezier, you only showed linear drawing mask. All the tricky stuff lies in drawing curve masks and making adjustments to it, like clicking on the control point holding CMD, stretching those handles (they drive me nuts), or selecting multiple control points. That's what I was hoping to see. I mean, there is a lot more to touch about masking. Think about part 2.

Could someone please help me understand why when I make a mask around a subject filmed on a green screen and then apply the Keyer effect, the outline of the mask appears. It no longer appears when I first apply the keying and then the mask. I'd like to know why. My best guess at the moment is that there must be some anti-aliasing on the mask outline that alters the color of the outline pixels so that they aren't removed by the keying.

An excellent tutorial. Thank you Serge.

Thanks. Again! :)

Thanks Serge!
