On Ver. 16 I'm trying to figure out how to create multiple masks on a single clip. The initial mask is numbered "1" and I've serached the help and the web and found clues that it is possible to add a second mask. I just cant figure out how to do it. Thanks.

Edit: Perhaps I should have specified that I meant Ver. 16 of PowerDirector.

Thanks for responding. I updated my question to specify PowerDirector. In PowerDirector, I don't see buttons similar to those the video you shared demonstrated in ColorDirector.

Hi NeillT -

You can't apply multiple masks to a single video clip in PDR.

If you have a clip where you want to mask in/out separate objects or parts of the video, like this:

... you need to insert the clip on separate tracks and mask each part separately, like this:

The masks on each clip can be keyframed to "follow" the subject if that's what's required.
