    Posted by Dv Memories video on January 25, 2007 at 3:28 pm

    I’m trying to highlight a section of land during an airlplane flyover of some property. I’ve tried the cookie cutter rectangle, but its just not quite what i’m looking for, i need to be able to draw a custom shape, is it possible, and would it be easy to track/follow the spot of land?

    Thanks,
    Eric.

    Yes it is. Use the Bezier Masking tool in Pan/Crop.

    I still want to keep the remaining land on screen, can you be more specific?

    I copied the clip to a track above, created the mask, then changed the brightness to make the outer land darker, so it turned out ok. I wonder if there is a better/easier way?

    That’s how I would have done it.
