CyberLink PowerDirector Help
You can add masks added directly on media clips in the timeline and then customize them in the Mask Designer. Masks let you hide a portion of the video image, only displaying the specified area of a media clip that you want.
Note: this section outlines the procedures for creating custom masks in timeline mode, as all the program's features are available in this mode. If you prefer to use the storyboard mode, and you find one of the outlined features is not available, you can press the Tab key on your keyboard to switch to timeline mode. |
To add a mask on a media clip and open the Mask Designer*, select a media clip on the timeline and then select Tools > Mask Designer.
Note: * optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the version table on our web site for detailed versioning information. |

If you want to edit the mask further, just reselect the media clip on the timeline and then reenter the Mask Designer by selecting Tools > Mask Designer.
