Apply layer masks

You'll find various layer masks in the Media Pool under "Templates" > "Image
objects". These masks can be imported directly into your project as an object. The
mask automatically applies the chroma key effect "Alpha" and can be used to crop
objects in a particular form.
This can be used to create interesting collages with 2 overlapping object that blend
into one another with a layer mask.

The black area of the mask contains the top object, the white area is the object
underneath. If you apply a gray scale mask, the two object will be mixed according to
the desired transparency.
You can also Invert masks: Click on the arrow in the mask's
object, which appears when you position the mouse over this
object. To revert the masks, click the arrow again.

Note: This function is available only in the Plus/Premium version.
