With the types of masks outlined, let’s take a look at an example. To learn more about the other effects available in DaVinci Resolve, check out this tutorial here. These and all the other masks are available from Effects Library > Tools > Masks. Drawing shapes comes more into play when tracking masks to follow the video and when rotoscoping (separating a foreground element from the background).

The first two are basic shapes, and the last two you can use to draw a shape. Four of the most used masks are available in the toolbar: Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, and B-Spline. The Fusion page in Davinci Resolve offers a variety of masks to choose from.
