  Sony Vegas Pro 9 – Masking problem?

  Posted by Lilly O’donnelly on June 30, 2010 at 5:31 am

  Hello!
  I’m making a video and I am able to mask the clip, but when I go to play over the clip it doesn’t work- I’ve followed several videos closely and have a background image, and I’ve done about 6 frames so far but nothing is showing up! Does someone know how to fix this?
  I have a video if it helps:
  click

  Thanks in advance!

  You are not closing your masks so they are having no effect. You must join the last point with the first point to make complete closed polygon. At that point Vegas will show you exactly what is being masked by changing the shading of the masked area. Just make a line from your last point to your first point.

  It looks like you never closed your mask. In order to define a mask you must end up clicking on the first anchor, (the pen tool will have a small circle just to the right of it.) Then, everything within the mask will be visible (Positive mask) or invisible (Negative mask).
