Quote I posted a similar message on Powerdirector 19 but maybe that's not getting any traffic now. Forgive me for double posting.

I took one of the standard masks and edited it. I then saved as and gave it a name. I can see that name at the top of the screen while still in that mask but when I click OK and go to another clip there is no sign of that mask in custom masks. Where did it go?

Hi,

Try looking in the Video Overlay room (F5)>Custom - I think you'll find them there.

There is a difference in designing and saving a Custom Mask, which is then available in Custom Masks as just the mask, for any general use, as opposed to saving a clip with a mask applied as a PiP Object which is what your workflow does in this case.

Hope that helps!

Hi, you're absolutely right. There it is. It's not exactly intuitive - in the mask designer save as and get a PiP Object.

So, as I understand it, to save as a custom mask I always have to use one of the create mask options. I can use create from the image, find the image in the library in the program directory, change it and click OK rather than save as. That seemed to work for me.

Thanks,
