Activity Forums VEGAS Pro adding anchors in masking

  • adding anchors in masking

    I use Bezier masking regularly. Love it. Sometimes, like now, I want to draw a very detailed mask around a large part of the image. To be able to work in great detail. I need to zoom in. But then I do’nt see the entire area in which I want to draw my mask. After creating anchors for a part of the frame, I change to normal edit tool in order to move the image within the event pan/crop window. I then click on the anchor creation tool again and continue. However, when I’m done, although it looks like one complete Bezier mask, it doesn’t function like one. I choose select all, and all anchors are selected, but every parameter under PATH is disabled. So I can’t do anything with it.
    Please tell me there is a simple way to have Vegas all created anchors as part of the same Bezier mask, and enable mode (masking positive or negative), opacity, and feather.

    After you zoomed and moved the area with the normal edit tool, first click onto the mask line, then click onto the last anchor you created, not till then change to the anchor creation tool.
