01 / IN PRACTICE

The editing process
matters as much as the result.

01

Edit by selecting an area

Set the visible area by adjusting mask shape and range.

02

Smooth edges

Refine the edge treatment so it sits naturally with the background.

03

Combine several scenes

Connect video and images on upper and lower tracks to make split screens and composites.

Split screens

Join the edges smoothly.

A sharply divided split screen needs a different edge from a naturally overlapping composite. Adjust the area and edge softness while checking how it connects to the layer below.

03 / GOOD TO KNOW

Check before you edit.

How are background removal and masks different?

A mask lets you define the visible area yourself; portrait background removal separates a person from the background. Choose one for the task or use them together.

What should I check before using it?

Available mask shapes and properties vary by element.
