In this lesson, we will look at masking in the Lumetri color workspace, specifically how to isolate one section of a clip and turn it black and white. We will also review how to track a mask to follow any movements

Hi, this is Margaret from Noble Desktop. Today, we'll be looking at creating a mask in the Lumetri Color Panel.
Let's make Dan black and white and his background color separate. We'll use the Lumetri Color Panel for this. Under Basic Color Correction, you have saturation. I have Dan clicked on, and I'm going to take away the saturation, so everything is black and white.
Let's pop over into the Effects Control tab. Here's your Lumetri Color you've just added. Now, I'm going to choose my mask, and now just as we did with the blur, we are going to have this form around Dan. And when it's something with the foreground and the background, do be sure to mask feather it. You almost always have to do that to make sure that there's no part of him that's not being covered.
Now, once again, I have my plate in the middle of this. You could start at the beginning and make your life easier, but I just made it harder, so I'm going to do forward and backwards, and that's okay. So, let's mask forward. Even though somebody's just sitting and talking, they're definitely moving, so you have to track every time you do a mask. Let's see how this works.
Evolving with this industry has kept my work life interesting, and it's one of the reasons I still love being a designer after all.
Okay, when you're working with something like this, you're adding. In our next video, we'll be looking at opacity masks, which are removing something in order to add another image underneath it.
I hope you've enjoyed this lesson on creating a mask using the Lumetri Panel. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop. Thanks for watching.
