    Hi guys,

    I’m correcting a scene and a woman passes in the foreground and sweeps across my image.
    How can I create a mask that will disable all other corrections while she passes?
    cheers and thanx for the input

    The easiest is to use a second track in which you copy your clip, delete all nodes, create an alpha output and then make one node in which you draw your shape.
    That will overlay the ungraded foreground without tampering with all the rest.
    It also gives you the freedom to grade her separately and play with the blend nodes of the second track

    A slice of color…

    Or a tracked power window in the appropriate shape.
