Learning Baselight Student Part 12
Creating mattes in any grading software is an essential task for every colourist. It’s essential that you learn the various ways of creating shapes and then modifying them to suit your needs.
In this Insight
After learning about creating a shape you start creating, modifying and deleting control points in your shape. You will start using the equivalent of Resolve’s ‘highlight mode’ on Baselight. This mode helps you visualize your shape matte overlay directly in the viewer. There are several of these overlay modes allowing you to toggle through different overlays using the cursor view.
Baselight also has a powerful feather editor for shaping the edges of shapes in a few different ways. Finally, you can combine multiple shapes within one shape layer for different results – as well as work inside and outside the shape.
