Unlock Better Masking Edges in Final Cut Pro! ✂️

Ever feel like the built-in sliders for the AutoMask in Final Cut Pro just aren’t enough? You aren’t alone! In today’s video, I’m sharing a clever “hack” to help you further refine your mask edges and get a much cleaner cutout.

While the standard AutoMask tools are great for quick selections, sometimes you need more precision. I’ll show you how to “borrow” advanced controls from an unlikely place to clean up visual noise and soften your perimeter more subtly than the standard blur tool.
