Filter is a commonly used beautification method in our video production process, which can easily add different "skins" to the video, presenting a variety of effects and bringing a different visual experience.
Masking effect is a commonly used filter in video production, and many people use masking to create visual contrast and variation, creating a richer sense of hierarchy.
Today, I will share with you a software specifically designed for adding filters and transitions to videos - proDAD Vitascene. This software has powerful features, including rich filters and transition effects. In this issue, I will first share with you how to use proDAD Vitascene to add a mask effect to videos.

After clicking, detailed parameter settings for exporting videos will appear, including the scope of export, video ratio, quality, format, and location.
These parameters are mostly based on default settings, and only need to change the export format and location. The dropdown menu at the "transcoder" allows you to select the target video format, and you can also click on the settings icon on the right to select the target storage location and change the file name.
