 Matte Only: Shows the actual matte being used to limit the effect. This is similar to
the image displayed in the HSL qualifier preview display, except that it shows the
sum of the vignette mask and the HSL mask, as well as the results of the mask as
it’s modified by the Key Blur parameter.
 Vignette outline: When the Vignette button is turned on, this button lets you toggle
the vignette outline that’s displayed in the Preview window on and off.
Isolating a Region Using the Vignette Controls
The vignette controls are an extremely fast way to isolate areas of the image that are
geometrically round or rectangular, such as the face of someone in closeup, or a
window in the background. Vignettes are also useful for isolating subjects that are too
hard to key using the HSL qualifiers.
On the other hand, if the subject you’re vignetting moves, you need to either keyframe
the shape to move along with it (see Chapter 14, “Keyframing,” on page 285) or use
motion tracking to automatically create a path for the shape to follow (for more
information, see “Tracking Tab” on page 306).
