FCPX is there an oval mask in here somewhere?

Hello
Is there an oval mask in FCP X?

Thanks
Steve M

The mask shape can be changed by rounding. The controls go much further than the slider. Select the value and use the scroll wheel. You can easily make an oval.

All the best,

Thank you Tom
I used the shape and made an oval. Now I can't figure out how to make it cut out the outside of the video. I have it sitting over the clip.

Use the shape generator on top of the video with the stencil alpha compositIng mode.

All the best,

Tom

Tom thanks for the help. I'm almost there.

I have the oval over the clip but what I'm after is to end up with only the video in the oval so I can put that on other video. That i have but I need the outside of the oval to be clear or go away. Not sure what that is called.
I used to do it in FCP7 but never noticed what the procedure was called.

Thank you
Steve M

In the inspector for the oval set compositing blend mode to stencil alpha. If you want to put a third layer beneath it select the oval with the comp mode and the fill layer and make them a compound clip.

All the best,

Tom
