Painting with Selection Masks

Use selection masks in layer-based Paint to paint shapes or to isolate a selection of the front or matte clip that you want to paint.

To paint inside or outside a selection mask:

  1. With your selection mask enabled, select Paint from the Paint Tools box.
  2. Optional: Enable Invert to paint outside of the selection mask.
  3. Paint a stroke.

    The stroke is only applied in the selection mask (or outside the selection mask if Invert is selected).
