Hm, strange - both in cinelerra-goodguy-20190808 and <br>
cinelerra-goodguy-20190827 I can't see Mask's work, if I just add pre-defined shape and play with 'fade' shader. (tried various values between -100 and 100)<br>
I tried to add effect (color invesion, brightness ..) but they apply to full track anyway.... Setting track's mixing mode at bay also changes nothing<br>
<br>
I also tried X11 and X11-OpenGL output, and 'disable OpenGL' checkbox in mask control window... Project settings were defaults<br>
(as after loading single video file), but changing project's ColorFormat from RGBA to RGBA-float, or YUVA changed nothing ...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">None of the above is explainable. We do not know how to diagnose the problems you see. Not to be insulting, but did you add an empty video track below the main video track and add the Gradient plugin to that track? That makes it so you can see the mask area. So if you look at the following demo, can you point out where your masking might be going wrong? <a href="https://streamable.com/yujpu">https://streamable.com/yujpu</a></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

It seems online manual a bit outdated in this regard (masking), and giant issue about Masking improvements on bugtracker also disappeared?<br></blockquote><div> </div><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Yes, the current manual Masking is totally wrong and Andrea has incorporated the new stuff into the Latex version which is not yet available. The below has the new Masking documentation temporarily:</span></div><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"></span> <br></div><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"> </span><a href="https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/Mask_changes.pdf">https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/Mask_changes.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">The Bugtracker is still there as issue #2, but it is Closed so that is why you might not see it.
