Hello friends, I can´t find the "mask" tool on my Cyberlink Power director 13, If I apply an blur effect, this effect is applied to all the frame but I only want to apply in a small zone of this frame or clip, like a face, a license plate etc...with a mask

I try to find a circle or square mask on cybetlink power director 13.

Could you help me?

Thanks

First you make a drawing ofthe mask-shape you want and save it with transperand background e.g. an ellipce.

Then import the drawing to your media library.

Place your mask (e.g. ellipse) on a track under (higher no.) your video clip.

Resize and replace the mask to cover the face.

Click Modify and set Opacity, and save.

Set the duration for the mask.

If the face isn't at the same spot on the screen all the time follow the instruktion in this tutor:
PowerDirector Tracking Motion

good luck!

I see it's easyer to use "Blur" effect as PlaySound suggests instead of it I suggested (but my idea works too).
You do/should have the Blur effect in Effect Room - try to look either in Style or All Content.

Drag the effect to effect track.
Highlight the effect and click Modify.
Choose Mask Type circle.
Click on Mask - Mask window open.
In Mask window you can change the size and position the mask.

Hopefully this helps you.

Thank you very much guys! I discover the "Modify" button on effects, if I didn´t push that button the "mask" options did not appear.

thanks!!!
