Jason, you don't know how much you've helped me through the years on how to edit videos. I've really leveled up my editing skills thanks to you! :)

I love using these sorts of hidden transitions in my edits. Normally the Edge Wipe transition is good enough for my needs but this is a good way to get detailed with your masking if the situation requires it. Thanks for the vid Jason!

[AdelJeffreyJeffreysAuto]

stellar as always Jason. you catapult my editing skills with these videos!

[entreia]

Great tutorial! :) It´s exactly something that I´ve wished to learn.

[martin_media]

Great explanation, thanks for a great tutorial

[jamesharrison]

Thanks Jason ~ another thumbs up Vid. Came to DR from Vegas Pro ... What I like about your vids is that there are rarely 'What the F*** did he just click' to do that' moments.

Good explanation! I learn new little things in Resolve all the time, and this is one that has really leveled up my work. Side note, you can use masks and jpg exports from the color page as kind of a poor man's photoshop for thumbnails and such ;)

When you create your mask and add key frames at each frame, did you add them one by one in the inspector? Maybe I missed that part or you assumed we knew how to do it? Or does it create the key frames automatically when you adjust the mask each time for each frame?

[michelvincent]

thanks you for this video. You help me awesome.

[GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Personally, this is just what I needed #maskingscaresme 🤣
Excellent as always Jason - cheers man 👊✌

I would add that for best results, you probably want to go from one clip to another with a similar velocity. Having the first clip transition to another clip scrolling the opposite direction or to a clip that is stationary may be a bit more jarring. That may be the effect that you are going for, but chances are you will want to have the 2 clips scrolling the same direction at a similar speed.

On a side note, you mentioned placing a point down for the pen tool. I know that this is used in a lot of different types of applications, but I think it would be worthy to go over how to use it well for masking, or perhaps it could be made into a series.
