Mask Paint [PnM]

The Mask Paint tool allows direct painting on mask images, using the mouse pointer as if it were a paintbrush. In addition to regular paint strokes, it is possible to apply basic primitive shapes and polyline style strokes.

Each stroke can have a duration that lasts for the entire project, a single frame or field, or an arbitrary number of fields. The strokes can have independent durations in the timeline for easy manipulation of time. Alternatively, Fusion 5.1 offers [[../../../Paint_and_Rotoscoping#Multistroke|Multistrokes]], a faster but non-editable way for doing many mask cleanup paint tasks.

As the Paint Mask tool is fundamentally identical to the Paint tool, see the Paint tool and the [[../../../Paint_and_Rotoscoping|Paint and Rotoscoping]] chapter for more details on the many options and capabilities available. The only difference is that, as Paint Mask operates on single-channel mask images, there is no channel selector control and all color controls have only a single Alpha value.
