How Do I Crop Video with Rounded Corners?

Hi,

I thought it'd be pretty simple, but I'm having trouble finding a way to crop my video so that it has rounded corners.

I learned that the best way to crop a video is under the Opacity feature. I see that I can crop it as a square or circle, but no other option. Is there something in Effects that I haven't found? Any other way to get this done?

Thanks.

I think I'm missing some part of this discussion? I just put my video on the track below my Graphic, and I created the single layer graphic from a rectangle tool, and just had a wide stroke and no fill, and using the rounded corner control that's it, size to taste. No need for a mask or anything such thing.

Is this the video where they say you should drop the footage into part of the essential graphics widow so you have no control over editing? Rounded corners shouldn't require tricks. Though the mask expension thing is interesting, but masks aren't automatically square. But ya know Im just talking to myself.

Paul's method is the one I use, @JonahOS, FWIW, and it works fine. Dragging clips into the Properties panel (Essential Graphics in past versions) can be a cool new way to manipulate clips. I agree that your feature request would be better, but Paul's technique is working now.

Take Care,

Use mask expansion to determine the corners.

Then adjust the mask to your liking.

Not the easiest way but you could produce the mask shape in something like Photoshop and either add as an overlay or use as the alpha channel for an image key.
