FrameWrx: How do I mask an image or video inside a shape.
Topic
Images can be nested inside any shape. For example, if you add a circle to your canvas and want that to be replaced with a photo, the image would be considered masked inside of that circle. Masking requires that the image or video takes up the entire space of the shape.
In the editor any image or video file can be masked inside of a shape. FrameWrx offers standard shapes in the shapes menu. If you would like to mask an image or video in a custom shape, any vectorized element can be used as a shape. With custom elements created outside of FrameWrx, you can add this to your project and mask an image or video inside of it.
