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.
