Circular Power Window to focus attention to the skin
DaVinci Resolve makes it easy to combine multiple Power Windows in different ways, to intersect with one another and create even more sophisticated shapes. For example, multiple windows can be added together, or one window can be used to cut out part of another window, which saves you from the need to make complicated keyframing operations to animate that window’s shape.

This section covers the use of Power Windows, how to create and modify them, as well as how to combine multiple windows, and combine windows and qualifiers to create highly specific isolations.
Adding Nodes with Windows
As with qualifiers, you must first add a node to a grade’s node tree before you begin windowing a correction. This is because all of the windows within a particular node work together to limit that node’s grade. As a reminder, any node can be changed from a primary operation that affects the entire image, to a more targeted secondary operation, simply by turning on a window, using a qualifier, or enabling an external matte.
