•
To rotate the shape: Drag the rotation handle (extending from the center).
•
To control the softness of the shape’s edge: Drag the outer circle. Setting the outer circle close
to the inner circle creates a hard edge and an abrupt transition to the corrections you apply,
and dragging the outer circle away from the inner circle creates a softer edge and a more
gradual transition.
•
To hide the mask’s controls: Click the Shape Mask onscreen controls button in the Shape Mask
area of the Color section of the Video inspector.

To adjust the color correction settings for this shape mask, click the Color Board button in the

Do one of the following:
•
To apply a color correction to the shape area: Click Inside.
•
To apply a color correction to everything except the shape area: Click Outside.
You can make corrections to both the inside and outside areas of the mask—each area
effectively has its own complete set of Color Board controls. For example, you could select Inside
Mask and enhance the shape’s area, and then select Outside Mask to darken everything else.
