Ik wil een ovaal transparant maken en de overige achtergrond zwart

Ik wil een ovaal transparant maken (uitsnijden) en de rest van de foto zwart.

Wim,

Ben ik goed of fout door te geloven dat het gewenste resulterende uiterlijk het beeld rechts is, zoals hier getoond (en boven met de uitleg)?

(Am I right or wrong in believing that the desired resulting appearance is the image to the right, as shown here (and above with the explanation)?)

Yes, that is exactly what I want.
But I do not see an explanation how to get it.

Here is a video: https://youtu.be/DpQgN-SQK-o

The commands are: 

Object > Knipmasker > Maken

Object > Ordenen > Naar achtergrond

Translating Illustrator menu items can be difficult. That's why I made this chart: https://www.vektorgarten.de/illustrator-polyglott.html

The Illustrator interface is the same on Windows.

The same names in the menus. I have used nothing in that video that you will not find in the same place.

Wim,

I posted it just before the first post with the images.

Here are both explanation and images together:

In your case, here is a hopefully improved version:

1) Create a stroke/no fill rectangle the size of the photo,

2) Create a stroke/no fill oval as desired,

3) Select 1) and 2), then hold Ctrl and press 8, or use the Object dropdown and click Compound Path and click Make, which is the same as using the Pathfinder dropdown and click Minus front, which is another way that always works; sometimes the former way requires some adjustment to work,

4) Change the Compound Path in 3) from having a stroke to having a black fill,

5) Select everything (also the photo beneath) and Ctrl/Cmd+G to Group, so everything is kept together as one object (when you move or copy it or somnething like that).

I hope the English is understandable, and the terms close enough to be recognized, you can also try to use the Translate button; I could see your writing in Dutch.

Here are images, showing the rectangle from 1) with a red stroke, and the oval from 2) shown with a blue stroke in the first one, then the Compound Path from 3) shown with a red stroke in the second one, then the Compound Path changed from stroke to a black fill from 4) in the third one:

Wim,

In stap 3) maak je met het ovaal een gat in de rechthoek waar je het gewenste deel van de foto doorheen kunt zien.

In stap 4) geef je de rechthoek met het gat een zwarte vulling.

Hier is een Help-pagina in het Nederlands die uitlegt en laat zien hoe je stap 3) kunt maken met een Samengesteld Pad:
