[Open the source ](https://vegascreativesoftware.com/vegas-pro/features/) ## Select a subject in an editing project In VEGAS Pro AI Smart Mask helps to find an object in the image and track it in several frames. The mask is useful if you need to apply color correction to part of the image, saving the rest of the video. It is easier to start with a fragment where the whole object is visible. After selecting an object, check the boundaries in motion before reinforcing the effect. A small error in the mask becomes more noticeable with a large color difference. ## Color-correct a bright jacket Use your own shot of a person in a bright jacket walking past a shop window. Isolate the person and reduce the saturation of the jacket slightly. Play the moment when the sleeve crosses the reflection in the window. Compare the original and edited versions at the same size. If the mask includes the reflection, correct that section or shorten the affected range. Look separately at the edge of the shoulder in quick shots. Tracking can hold the main figure, and the edge changes and becomes visible when playing. ## Deliver the finished effect Compare a short test export with the original away from the editing timeline and overlays. Check that the correction holds when the shot changes. VEGAS Pro has shipped several masking tools.
