Deselect control points
In the Final Cut Pro viewer, do one of the following:
• Shift-click selected points.
• Shift-drag a selection rectangle over selected points.
Select or deselect every control point on a mask
In the Final Cut Pro viewer, do one of the following:
• Select all of a mask’s control points: Choose Edit > Select All (or press Command-A).
• Deselect all of a mask’s control points: Choose Edit > Deselect All (or press Shift-
Command-A).
You can also click anywhere outside the selected mask in the viewer.
Display the control point number
By default, mask control points are numerically labeled in the order in which they were
created in the viewer.
• In the Final Cut Pro viewer, position the pointer over any control point in a closed mask.
The numeric name of the control point appears—“Control Point 1,” for example.
Note: Draw Mask control points are also listed by number in the Draw Mask section of the
Video inspector.
Lock control points
You can lock control points in a mask to fix them in place and prevent accidental changes.
• In the Final Cut Pro viewer, Control-click a control point and choose Lock Point.
To unlock a locked control point, Control-click it and choose Unlock Point.
Disable control points
Disabling a control point in a Draw Mask is similar to disabling a clip in the timeline: The
control point is temporarily removed from the mask but retains its position and its number
in the sequence of control points. You can just as easily reenable control points.
• In the Final Cut Pro viewer, Control-click a control point and choose Disable Point.
To enable a disabled control point, Control-click it and choose Enable Point.
