+==== Complex Masks ====
-{{:en-us:9.0:techniques:mask-04.jpg}}
+    * Masks in Version 9 also have another property which enables complex masks to be generated from a mixture of black and white objects: the ability to switch the "Alpha Channel" on and off.
+    * Here is an example using two black rectangles with a white centre rectangle. Remember "white reveals" and "black conceals"..
-The Size and Appearance of the Mask Container, the Mask and the contained Image can be adjusted per Key Frame.
+{{en-us:11.0:how_to_v9:v9-mask009.jpg}}
-==== Image or Video ====
+    * These two rectangles can be used to generate a composite mask
+    * The two rectangles are now used as mask stencils in a user-defined Blank Mask
+    * Rectangle 2 is above Rectangle 1
+    * For Rectangle 2, if "Convert to Alpha Image" is ON, then the black area where Rectangle 2 overlaps Rectangle 1 becomes transparent
-You can also create a mask in an external editor and use that in place of the Template version.
+    * Convert to Alpha image is ON For Rectangle 2
-The "Image Mask" should be "white and black" or or "white and transparent".
+{{en-us:11.0:how_to_v9:v9-mask010.jpg}}
-In the example below a white diamond shaped transparent png has been used.
+    * In the next example, "Convert to Alpha Image" is OFF for Rectangle 2 and the black area blocks out the area where it overlaps Rectangle 1
