Animate opacity of shape mask in color?

I have a shape mask that I'd like to fade in and then out. The Opacity attribute under Video for the clip affects the entire clip. Is there a way to do this?
Thank you!
Scot

You need to put two copies of the clip in the timeline, one on top of the other.

  • How to inverse the effect of shape mask for color correction ?

    To change the effect on a particular portion of the frame we use shape mask is there a way to keep the portion under the mask intact and change the color outside it ? For eg specially if the area to keep unchanged is in the middle of the frame.....?

    At the bottom of the color board you have separate controls for inside and outside.

  • Keyframe shape mask effects?

    Can you keyframe shape mask effects?
    I'm trying to keyframe a simple shape mask effecting the outside area: -86 exposure to 0 exposure, meaning that first, inside the mask all is seen, while outside llittle is seen, then move to 0 exposure where all is seen. But clicking keyframes next to shape mask (below Color Correction 1) doesn't work. I input -86, click keyframe then move to where I want and input 0, but that's how the whole clip appears with no gradation changes.
    Any suggestions?

    I created some animatable masks (keyframeable on-screen control points). It's three keying effects: a single 4 point mask (like the one that comes with FCPX), a two 4 point set (essentially an 8-point), and a four 4 point set (essentially a 16-point.)
    Please watch the video for best use guides. Most of the time, layering on 2 or more single 4 point mask shapes is quite addequte to do most of your masking needs.

  • Color correction shape mask keyframes!!!

    Using FCPX for color correction, but when I add a shape mask and animate it using keyframes, I have no way to smooth the keyframes and control their smoothness!!!  Someone PLEASE tell me I'm just missing on the way to do it...  I tried everything.
    Thanks

  • How to create a shape/mask with a hole in it?

    In graphics illustration applications, it's common to support boolean operations on shapes and paths, like subtracting one object from another resulting in a compound path (like a group of sub-paths).  This provides the ability to create shapes with "holes" in them where background content can show through.  Is it possible to do this with two (or more) shapes (or masks) in Motion 5?  For example, if I draw a rectangle shape and a smaller circle shape inset within the rectangle, to have the circle as a "hole" in the rectangle so that as the rectangle passes in front of other objects they show through the hole?  If the answer is yes this can be done, can you please descibe how?  Thanks!

    It's possible to create a lot of sophisticated masking effects in Motion and there are two different ways that can be used in combination or separately (depending on the type of object being masked -- some objects won't allow shape masks, but almost all objects allow Image Masks.)
    To set up what's going on below: the bottom layer is a Clouds generator. On top of it is a Spirals generator.
    The region in the center where the '8' figure is starts as a rectangle to which 4 circle shape masks are added. The Shape Mask tool is in the one to the right of the Text ( 'T' icon) tool in the toolbar at the bottom of the Motion window. When an "eligible" layer is selected in the Layers List its options will be selectable, otherwise it will stay dimmed.
    The first two circle masks added to the Rectangle are arranged one above the other (visually) and their Mask Blend Mode is set to Intersect and the Invert Mask options are checked for both. Two more circle masks are drawn for the same rectangle shape and placed to form the "holes" for the figure 8. Their Mask Blend Modes are set for Add.
    The region of the Spirals that form the outer border is another Rectangle Shape drawn to form the bounds. To that Rectangle I added an Image Mask (right click on the Layer and select Add Image Mask.) To the Image Mask sub-layer I dragged the original rectangle containing the 4 circle masks.
    Finally to the Spirals generator layer I added an Image Mask and dragged the second rectangle on the that sublayer.
    When objects are added to an Image Mask, Motion will automatically turn off those layers from being visible in the canvas.
    When working with masks, especially several levels of masking, sometimes you have to think in opposites. For instance, originally, the inner rectangle is solid and the figure 8 is the cutout. When added to the second rectangle, the "state" is reversed. Where you see the spiral are the solid portions of the final composite mask. If you select the Invert Mask option of the Spirals Image Mask, the entire thing "flips" (and the spirals would replace the clouds and vice versa).
    Shape Masks have four available Blend Modes (Add, Subract, Replace and Intersect). Shape Masks are "all or nothing" cutouts (with exception of feathering).
    Image Masks use Alpha, Individual Color channels (R,G, or B) or Luma to determine transparency. Image Masks can also use bezier shapes as sources, making almost the same as Shape Masks in this respect, except that Fill Opacity can be used to vary opacity within masked areas.

  • Dissolving a Shape Mask?

    Hi,
    I am using an oval shape mask. In the mask is a couple. I want the couple full screen, how do I get rid of the mask? Scratching my head, I am sure it's simple. Thanks in advance.

    Well I have key framed the couple to be 100% in size thinking it would cover the mask but the mask remains. Basically I have a couple in a christmas ball, don't ask, looks great. Now, I want the image of the couple full screen, kind of pushing out and overlapping...just don't know how to get rid of the mask, if it was on a separate time line i would animate it small and dissolve it but since it is a mask on the same image intellectually I can't figure it out.

  • Circular Shape Mask

    I'm looking for fcp x info on how to create a circular (elliptical etc.) shape mask that will cut out everything beyond the outer border and allow the image below on the storyline to be seen. I created a composite image today with one image nested inside another inside a third. The middle image was elliptical and seemed to allow for the elliptical cropping I was after but the top (circular) one remained fixed in a square, retaininig the original imagery in the corners. I fiddled with a circle shape generator and the shape mask correction functions but could not get a circular cropping that would get rid of those corners. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    sorry for getting 'hysterical' on your mentioning of 'compounds'
    This word meanwhile 'triggers' me -  many people coming from traditional NLEs abuse compounds to re-enact their habitual workflows, to establish 'tracks' etc etc etc ...
    The bulit-in masks (e.g. in the color-board, or the 'dirt mask' in the keyer) in FCPX offer lots of features, usually asking for multi-step-workflows, done with a single click. - OK, two clicks ....

  • Copy Shape Mask to multiple clips

    I want to use the Color/Shape Mask to create a vignette on multiple clips, but I can not find a way to copy its settings from one to the other. Anyone know how?

    Thanks! I kept trying to right click, drag and other ways from the Effects window when it was "hiding" in the Edit menu all along.
    I sure miss the dialogue from FCP that would allow you to check off the particulars of the paste. Hope to see it in an update soon.

  • How do I automate global vector shape, mask & path transfers to Illustrator?

    Using: WIN7, Adobe CS5, PS, AI (but others may appreciate answers for CS6, etc.)
    When I need to move a project from  Photoshop to Illustrator, I need an automated way to prep shape and vector mask items for export--preferably preserving the structure and layout that already exists as layer names and order, character and paragraph settings, and of course global registration. My scripting is limited to recording actions, so I need to find an existing script or get coached on this. Any recommendations?
    I have googled and waded through numerous forum posts trying to research this on my own, so I know about the ability to export my path collection, but that's usually inapplicable in reality. It only deals with vectors from the Paths pallette. In Photoshop, I use the Paths pallet to store master and WIP paths, but all the working paths are either shapes or vector masks--or active type layers. Often enough that it's become an issue, I'll need to move the whole project to Illustrator. Obviously, the process has issues; I'm not expecting the rastor layers or Photoshop styles to carry over, but I see no reason why I can't capture text, shape and vector mask elements.
    They all have a vector component, but simply opening a PSD in Illustrator flattens (badly) the layers. I select the "Convert Layers as Objects" but have yet to see it extract editable text. I'm not sure if it even attempts to do anything with vector shapes or masks. I've got a process for moving a project one element at a time, using registration marks--but this requires turning text into shapes most of the time, especially if I am trying to preserve kerning and leading crucial to the layout. Maybe I just have not found the right info, and there is a way to transfer editable text without losing character and paragraph settings. I'd love to hear about it.
    For now, I'd be happy to stop wasting time doing a ton of conversions and renaming by hand, just so I can preserve the work I've already invested.
    One suggestion, posted under a multiple path export question, was to use scripting... but no one explored or explained how to go about it. I'm not asking for the impossible, however. I simply need help working out my own solution: if there is no application method for transferring the elements, try to script a method to prep those elements for export. Before I even attempt to reinvent someone's wheel, I am putting the question out there:
    Does anyone know of a solution that already exists?
    I appreciate hearing your advice and thank you for giving this some attention!
    edit:  I kept at it and managed to open my current project PSD in AI with text and shape/mask vectors successfully--not as cleanly as I'd hoped but the relative positioning of things was acceptable. I am still interested in hearing people's suggestions on better ways to transfer work from one tool to the other, though. I know this is going to come up for me again and again...
    Thanks!

  • Fcpx 10.2 export changed the shape and position of my shape masks. Ideas?

    Fcpx 10.2.  Upon export it changed the shape and position of my shape masks.   It also created "cordoroy" looking screens where some photos had been.  Looking for help.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for the response.  My project is 1280x720 29.97 fps.  Here's a shot of the corduroy.  The first time I exported using the "export" choice.  I rebooted and exported again choosing "master" file.  The settings were the same on both- 1280x720, 29.97, H.264.  The corduroy went away the second time.  The masks are still off.  I'm using them throughout my project.  They are closer to center on both of the quicktime movie outputs than on my screen in the project.  I could send pics.

    Because it was not possible to apply a gradient to a stroke in CS5. When you open the file in CS5, it is reduced to something that can be rendered in CS5.

  • How to make smart shape buttons turn colors after clicking on them?

    How to make smart shape buttons turn colors after clicking on them?  I am using buttons as links to learning paths and would like users to know which buttons they have allready clicked on when returning to main menu.

    This is reply I got from Adobe support.  I will try and let you all know what works best:
    Here is the workflow which you can follow to achieve this functionality.
    Puspendra: You can choose image button and then choose from the available image buttons, or click on the folder icon when you select the image button and choose from the Gallery of Captivate 6.
    Puspendra: Few image buttons change color on hover or onclicked, these effects are predefined in them.
    Puspendra: Or you can edit that button on which you are working, from properties Panel.
    Puspendra: The Post and Cancel button on this thread seems like a transparent button in Captivate with different fill and stroke color, and transparency is also less, and with corner radius of 0.
    Puspendra: You will find these all optionns, when you will click on that button and then click on the properties panel.

  • How to SHAPE(mask) tween in Photoshop?

    Hello,
            please tell me how to SHAPE (mask, path) TWEEN in Photoshop?
    Flash is capable of Shape Tweening but does not have Photoshops tools or esp. Channel Operations for precise mask edits.
    Hope to talk soon,
    Jeff

    Thats really! good news and tips, much appreciated.
    The last things i hope to ask before going to AE Forum is:
    3) does AE have or can be made to perform PS or Flash distort, skew, warp etc. transformations?, (these save incomparable time in path editing rather than AE's limited transforms and manual point and tangent realignments)
    4) when shape(mask) tweening in AE is it capable of what Flash calls ease-in/out, or what Illustrator and CorelDRAW calls "speed"or "acceleration" respectivly?
    All your help is most the productive, thanks for your patience and i hope i've not asked too much. The rest i'll get at AE Forum and else where.
    big fan,
    Jeff

  • Mask overlay color

    Good morning:
    The mask overlay colors have gone from a strong luminance to a soft pastel.  The colors are so light I can hardly see them.  Please advise how I can get the strong colors back on the mask overlay.
    Thanks,

    Thanks di_page -
      It appears that my brush was somehow changed from "A" to "B".  You were right in that the flow slider was way down on the "B" option.  I really appreciate the information since I didn't have a clue what had happened. 
    Thanks again for your help -
