Mask group
Channels If you are using a bitmap as the mask file, you can use the Alpha
channel, the Red, Green, or Blue channel, Luminance, Z-Buffer, Material
Effects, or Object ID.
Files Select a file to use as a mask. The name of the selected file appears above
the Files button.
Options Displays an
Image Input Options dialog on page 6617 where you
can set alignment and size, relative to the frames of video output. For animated
images, you can also synchronize the mask with the frame sequence of video
output. This is the same dialog used for Image Input Event options.
Enabled Enables the mask. If turned off, Video Post ignores any other mask
settings.
Inverted When turned on, the mask is inverted.
Video Post Parameters group
VP Start Time/End Time Set the starting and ending frames for the selected
event within the overall Video Post queue. Video Post renders the event over
the number of frames specified here.
Enabled Enables or disables the event. When turned off, the event is disabled
and Video Post ignores it when rendering the queue. Each event must be
disabled individually. For example, disabling a composite layer event does
not disable the composited image events. The range bars of disabled events
are unavailable in the event track area.

source, and composite the next event, using the parameters of the plug-in
