    i’m curious if there is anyway in vegas to have multiple mask effects. say you mask out the sky and change the color, but want to change the rest of the landscape a different color? also, can you animate masks? say start from a keyframe and go over a few to where the shot moves and mask out what has moved?

    if you watch near the end he masks out the pond so that the color match doesn’t effect the rocks and grass. what if you wanted to have control over the grass and rocks while the pond still has the masked effect. say i wanted the pond real blue and do something else with the grass

    Answer1:Yes we can animate Masks. If you are asking because you need to move it with a wobbly-cam or Panning, it needs careful Keyframing.

    Answer2: Separate the elements to separate Tracks and get control that way.

    So:-

    Track 1 – Pond

    Track 2 – Grass

    i figured out how. say i want to change the color of the sky to already corrected/graded footage. i duplicated the track and masked out the sky. i left apply to fx off since i just want the sky overlaying in the other track. i brought some clouds back into the shot. could someone explain to me the difference in opacity and the slider on the video track? do the do they same thing? also, i noticed the order of the video tracks has an effect on the overlay. my masked clouds have to be on top for them to appear. is this the proper way of doing this or can i change the composition settings for each track? and how does the parent and child buttons effect the overlay?
