Affinity Designer Tutorial - an overview of the different types of masks

In this video, I try to cover the different options you have in Affinity Designer to mask, trim, crop, and clip. There are the common Clipping Masks and Layer Masks, the lesser known Mask to Below, and Rasterizing a shape to mask. I try to briefly cover the advantages, issues, and limitations of the different types.
More examples can be found in my PDF collection of step-by-step tutorials.

Your learning videos are very well designed.
Unfortunately, I personally cannot improve my learning process because your videos and the explanation of the individual steps are too fast for me.
Suggestion: split the individual masks in Affinity Photo so that amateurs (like me) can better understand the individual steps.
