The Magic Mask is good at isolating a person, or parts of a person, from the background, but it includes all features, such as eyes and hair.

In this week’s MacBreak Studio, I demonstrate how you can combine the Magic Mask with a qualification to make these kind of selections. For example, if the background matches the skin tone, or if the clothing contains a variety of hues. Available only in the for-fee Studio edition (because it uses Resolve’s Neural Engine), the Magic Mask can greatly speed up selecting people or parts of people, including specific clothing, that would normally require detailed animated power windows (really, rotoscoping) in order to create a clean selection for a secondary grade.Īnd while the Magic Mask can be used in isolation – especially when creating a nice tight garbage matte for keying – when combined with the Qualifier palette, you can make certain skin and clothing selections that would be otherwise extremely difficult to produce. One of the marquee new features in Resolve 17’s Color Page update is the new Magic Mask palette.
