Masking Enhancements
The mask feature allows you to use certain shapes, frames, and screen props to hide or show parts of another asset. We’ve enhanced it to add a visible overlay—making it much easier to see what you’re masking. To learn more about masking and maskable assets, take a look at this help center article.
Cropping
To make it even easier to modify the assets and images in your video, we’ve added a crop tool. Cropping allows you to trim the edges of an asset—cutting out the parts you don’t want, and controlling exactly how much of the asset you’ll show.
