Adding and Removing External Mattes
If you’ve been provided with matte files to accompany one or more media files used by a program you’re grading, you can attach them directly to specific clips in the Media Pool, in order to use them as key sources for a Clip Grade in the Node Editor of the Color page. You can even use matte files that pack multiple mattes within a single piece of media. This can be done by either writing different mattes to each of the red, green, and blue channels of a clip, or by embedding multiple matte passes within a single OpenEXR file.

When the Media Pool is in Icon view, clips with clip mattes appear with a badge.
