  Selectively selecting multiple anchor points in the mask

  Posted by Travis Taylor on September 23, 2010 at 3:47 pm

  So, most every software that deals with anchor points will allow you to selectively select anchor points, either with a selection tool or by holding a hot key and clicking the anchor points you want. Vegas, I’m sad to say, doesn’t have a selection tool for masking (although that’d be a fine addition to future versions of Vegas). The instruction manual says to “Hold Ctrl while clicking to select/deselect multiple points” while in normal mode in the mask. Unless I’m doing something wrong, this does NOT work. The cursor changes to Split Tangents cursor (the upside-down V).

  So is there any way to selectively select multiple anchor points? I have a rounded box that would be much easier to resize/move if I could select just one corner (made up of a group of 3 anchor points) at a time.

  Thanks!

  Use the Shift button instead of the Ctrl button and you can do what you want to do.

  Awesome, thanks! That was simple enough. I thought I had tried every basic hot key, but I guess I was expecting the anchors to actually become highlighted once multiples were selected (which, as it turns out, is not the case).

  Thanks again 🙂
