Magic Mask
Magic Mask lets you apply effects across a series of frames, using the chroma and luma
values as the criteria for edge detection. After you pick a color with the eyedropper, you can
adjust the Hue, Sat, and Lum sliders to fine-tune the color selection.
Magic Mask is available in the following effects: Image: Paint Effect, Key: AniMatte.
Transfer menu Specifies how the film was transferred to video as follows:
• Full Aperture — The transfer includes everything that is visible in the frame.
• Academy — The transfer does not include the sound track area on the left side of the
film.
Parameter Description
Parameter Description
Color controls Let you select a color from the video background and then refine it. For more information on the
parameter controls, see “Color Parameter Controls” on page 622.
To colorize your effect, use the controls in the Paint Effect’s Color parameter category in
conjunction with one of the Paint Effect modes.
Gain When you use the Paint Effect, Gain increases or decreases the range of pixels surrounding the
color you pick that Magic Mask enables you to modify in conjunction with your selected paint
mode. Gain includes or excludes pixels surrounding the color you pick that falls within a
specified color range, or tolerance.
When you use the AniMatte effect, Gain increases or decreases the effect of Magic Mask on
pixels that are contiguous to your color selection within the borders of a matte key. Gain applies
color correction to pixels that fall within the specified color range, or tolerance, of the color you
pick with the eyedropper.
The tolerance you adjust with the Gain slider is relative to the RGB values of the color you
picked.
Values range from 0 to 63 pixels. Decreasing the value lessens the color range and includes
fewer pixels contiguous to the matte key or color selection. Increasing the value expands the
range and includes more pixels surrounding the matte key or color selection.
