Hi guys,

I saw a YT tutorial (https://youtu.be/BiZ0DpQoqto) for a "simple" masking effect for Adobe Premiere.
Is this kind of effect possible with kdenlive? Which effect would I use?

I am using kdenlive since a year now but couldn't figure out this one until now.

Thanks in advance!

It seems to me that KDEnlive has no choice when you have not been answered.

Here is a quick way to do this:

• Add the title clip in the top video
• Add the video clip in the track below
• Add Transition "Affine" between the two
• Add an effect on the title clip to create a mask

If you want predefined shapes, you can use the effect "Alpha Shapes" (in alpha operations). That will give you basic geometric object (square, circle,... ) that you can move around.
For something more precise, you can use the "Rotoscoping" effect. When it is applied, you can draw the mask directly onto the project monitor.
For that, create a keyframe with the + button in the rotoscoping parameters (you may need to right clic on the project's monitor first)
Then, toggle the button "show edit mode" (square icon on the right of the volume icon below the monitor). You can then clic on the monitor to start drawing a shape. When finished, right-clic to close the shape.
You can add more keyframes to make your mask animated.

Good luck

You can adjust rotoscoping frame by frame
