Shotcut Motion Masking Effect Using Glaxnimate

[@CoolDudeSuperNoob]

Having this ability integrated looks quicker and easier than editing frame at a time in an art programme for the same effect. Also good to see you creating new Shotcut tutorial videos.

[@BenEspanto]

Totally agree!

[@flickeringscreens]

As soon as I heard Glaxnimate was being incorporated into Shotcut, I thought about the potential for using it for animated masks. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@BenEspanto]

Enjoy!

i've been using shotcut for YEARS, and had no idea they released this till now, god this would've been so helpful in the past, cant wait to start using it! thx for showing us how

Thanks again I saw in other editors that they follow up on the points. Although it seems to me that it has greater precision with OpenShot within Glaxnimate, it is somewhat more tedious, but if you want it, the best thing would be to do it manually. Do you know if there is any way to do it automatically with OpenShot? Maybe it would be easier with the tracking effect in OpenShot to attach media to moving objects. I don't know if it's possible to do it too.

I really like your channel and the content you post about tips and tricks on Shotcut. This tool Glaxnimate was one of the best updates of Shotcut, I'm sure you will bring many cool ideas and applications of this tool in video editing, another thing I am grateful for is your generosity in providing subtitles in Portuguese, I am very grateful.

The workflow isn't smooth as adobe, but is nice to have this option. I plan to make a video from the bike roadtrip with my kids, but this time a bit better with B Rolls and a bit more planing the shots. Not like my old vids where I filmed without any idea what I can make in the post produktion. Your tutorials give me so many ideas to shot and make it a video after.

[@BenEspanto]

It's better than nothing.

Love this Ben. Thanks. Can you apply multiple masks on the same clip? For example, if you had also wanted to apply a mask to the area between the walking person's legs, so that you could see the other scene in that area, could you do that?

A tip is to work with the project at 24fps that will reduce the work frame by frame

[@BenEspanto]

That works

Great tutorial! I just find using Blender for this kind of work better though especially since you can port your mask to any editor. It's just a black & white image sequence. Hope there will be a workflow for that as well. "Import clip as background image into Blender"

Also used Piccadilly Circus footage for a video I'm doing to explain a lot of Glaxnimate functionality for documentary use. Very cool tutorial for masking, thanks. I'm used to referring to the clips as "assets" rather than material and the little "squares" on the path are called nodes. One can use GIMP to achieve the same effect though it is as tedious to do as any manual "rotoscoping" or masking. Keep up the good work.

Do I have to install Glaxnimate separately? Or are you referring to how it's a separate window?

Hi Ben. You have helped me out alot .I try to implement something new to everyone of my videos, and your videos definitely help with that.... I updated my version in order to try this one and when I click on draw glax it automatically takes me out of the program and brings me to my homepage. Would you happen to have any idea why?. Any help is appreciated 🙏

[@BenEspanto]

What operating system are you using? Did Glaxnimate load in the background?

[@summertonfishing119]

I ended up reinstalling the new version and it worked perfectly. Thanks again for your videos

Thank you for this tutorial. However, I am having a tough time implementing the Mask: Draw on to my video. I have saved a newGlax.rawr file with the mask shapes that I want to overlay.

Pretty easy? Sure. Tedius? Oh, absolutely. It's unfortunate that the glaxnimate program cannot track the movement of an element in the raw video, instead of having to move the cut-out manually frame by frame. Still, I'm really looking forward to trying this in my project, thanks for the tutorial.

Show options for doing on a video track setting the in and out points, putting text on TRANSPARENT layer so one can fade it in and out.

[@treeoflifeenterprises]

​@@BenEspanto and thanks for the vid. the record button/toggle on glaxnimate is the key to getting the changes recorded per frame, and also if you go back to edit a file. (an earlier attempt following a different vid from someone else missed that important detail.) I was able to mask out reflections on a screen using this tool and a brightness filter set to dark. Nice clear instructions and easy accent to understand. thanks. I found if you removed points on your mask shape part way through the frame sequence, they were removed earlier as well, so something to watch out for.

[@kztuptuo7076]
