Sony Vegas masking problem
Okay so I’m trying to mask a motion video. I’ve looked up many videos and followed the instructions, but for some reason the masking won’t work, I have all the frames masked and I also made sure the anchors were connected.
not sure what to do. please help. -

It would help if you explained in detail what you have already done and what did not work. Right now all we now is that it didn’t work. We don’t know what is not working. Does the mask not show up? Is it not moving? Is it not following the motion? Posting some screen shots and even a video would be most helpful.

I’m sorry I didn’t make myself clear. Basically the mask is not showing up.

In the picture you can see the selected area masked out but there is no effected. Shouldn’t the area that is not selected be blacked out in the preview?

It would help me to understand what you’ve done if you could provide a screen grab of the Mask Controls you’ve used. Can you do that?

Yes, well… it’s upside down and only part of the screen but I can see the mask. It would be much better if you took a computer screen shot of your entire display instead of a photograph. It’s important to see the event and timeline and complete pan/crop window so that we can see what options you are using. It could be as simple as you having Mask unchecked but we can’t see that part of the window.
The PrintScreen (PrtScr) key will take screen capture and then you can paste it into the Paint program and save it as a JPG and post it here.

You have your Mask set to only apply to FX which is why it’s not altering your video. In the upper left corner in the Properties list, change the Mask property of Apply to FX from Yes to No. That should fix your problem.
