Masking is the process of creating a 'mask' around a piece of footage to only show a specific part of it. Most modern editors are capable of this in some way.
Usage
In Vegas
Cookie Cutter
Cookie Cutter is a vegas plugin that creates "cookie cutter" patterns on a frame, creating easy (albeit primitive) masks. While not as useful for specific masking, it can be combined with other pieces of footage for cool shape patterns and designs. Was very popular in the early days of tennis.
