select the draw tool and draw your mask. You can add feather and keyframeit to your liking.
I have a tutorial here on the cow you can pull up with a quick search.

If you call Avid support, the conversation will feel much like an old Abbot and Costello routine.
“hi, I can’t seem to be able to play HD at HQ.”
“the adrenaline can’t playback HQ HD.”
“what?! so I can’t edit HD on the adrenaline!?”
“yes, you can.”
“whew. ok so whats the problem?”
“you can only play it back in half quality.”
“what!? so I can’t edit HD on the adrenaline!?”
“yes, you can.”
“whew ok so whats the deal?”
“you’ll have to export it as data, not play it.”
“I can’t watch HD out of the adrenaline?”
“not in HQ mode.”
“HQ is the point of HD, correct?”
“????”
“so I am to throw half quality before my client then export it without being able to watch it first?”
“you can watch it in half quality.”
“so your saying I can’t edit HD on the adrenaline?”
“yes, you can.”
“did this phone call really cost a brother 500 bucks?”
lol

I am on all three of those sites. I set them up for networking and listed that in my profiles but never have I gotten a gig as a result.
MySapce is a place for youngans to pretend to be other people and facebook is a place for middle aged single moms to try to wrestle down a new daddy. Linked sems to be more profession but man, how boring is that?
lol
in a nut shell, social networking means too lazy too lazy to get laid.

Non on a shelf that I know of.
Even a regional emmy has to be purchased. I have always seen the trophy case as a warning sign. The places I have worked that ahd them displayed were lower end than the places that didn’t have to try to impress with purchased trophies.
Clientele is only impressed if they don’t know any better.
I have to think they are more to impress the neighbors than anything.

Learn After Effects, Photoshop and master FCP. Staff until you feel you have peaked. I cannot stress this enough. If you try to freelance before you are ready, it’s called unemployment.
When you go freelance, learn Avid’s interface and you’ll increase your marketability.
Either way, you will have to know AE and photoshop to be marketable as a freelance editor.

You can advertise you MC Symphony Nitris here on the COW in the sale forum.
Hard to say what that’s worth.
I have a regular old Media Composer on Adrenaline that I just paid off that is hardly worth one of the payments I was making.

Looked great, dude.
It’s ironic that most spots we see advertising sweet media courses are worse than used car spots, making would be students laugh rather than enroll.
Your’s is clean and well done.

The Beatle Bob and Grinner Show was the awesomest.
https://grinnerhester.com/BeatleBob.html
for real, ego aside.
I love movies that mean something. That can change something.
I made this one with the best of intentions… to learn how to live in the now or to become a better dude in the process of trying.
I spent money I didn’t have to do something reckless and arguably insane.
I’m proud of that.
I did not make this movie to gain moola or exposure as a filmmaker. I flat out just did what I dug and served it up as what it was and that is something hollywood is starting to lack in this scripted reality world.
Now, I am not so bold to say I or my collage of home hovies is better than the oscar-chasers or their creations. I am suggesting my motivation for the art may be refreshing to those who are seeking art, not a movie. To me, that’s what art is… expressing how ya feel and throwing out to strangers, ready to receive both praise and ridicule for honesty or shared perspective.
By that, we see very little art leave hollywood.
