Using OpenArt masking tools for subject protection
OpenArtDemo summary
A walkthrough of the OpenArt VFX masking interface, demonstrating auto-select, smart select for specific objects like a cardboard box, the brush tool for manual cleanup, and the invert mask feature.
Step-by-step
- Drag your source video into the editor and confirm the clip.
- Select a masking tool such as Auto Select to detect the main subject.
- Use Smart Select to click and identify specific objects within the frame.
- Click 'Add an area' to create separate masks for different objects.
- Use the Brush tool to manually clean up or refine mask edges.
- Adjust the brush size slider for precision or large area coverage.
- Type a description into the text field to identify areas via text prompt.
- Click the Invert Mask tool if you want to protect the selected subject and edit the background instead.
Options
- Auto Select for main subject detection
- Smart Select for object-by-object clicking
- Text-based masking by describing the object
- Manual Brush and Erase tools
- Adjust mask transparency via the slider
- Zoom in and out for detailed masking
Watch out for
- The Erase tool only works on the currently active area; you must select the specific area layer before you can erase parts of its mask.
Tips
- Click 'Add an area' to make separate masks for each object so they can be managed independently.
- It is often simpler to select the subject and then use the Invert Mask tool rather than trying to select multiple background pieces manually.
- You will likely find yourself using the Invert Mask tool frequently during the editing process.
