Video Mask

The Video Mask option allows the user to draw rectangular region which masks or covers part of the loaded in EZTitles video picture. This may sometimes be required if there are visual elements in the picture which would otherwise obscure the normal display of the subtitles in EZTitles or will simply make them hard to proof read. Added in this way Video Mask will be visible in EZTitles only and details about it will be saved in the ~info.xml which EZTitles creates when a clip is loaded.
