If you have followed my tutorial here (version 2) - in the PDF file is a link to the mask used, which you can download.

Hi there,
you may find that they are hidden from initial view/opening of the 'load mask' menu, I believe same happened to me when I just went browsing for them other day, I think if you select 'view all file types' in option tab in bottom right of screen I think it is, they may appear then in the folder, hope this helps if your still at a loss.

Hi,

When you do the "Load mask" the explorer should open the following folder:

C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\Video Pro X6\VideoEffects\EffectAlphaMasks

and the masks will be in the subfolders. Folder "HD" is the one I use most often.

I also made a copy of all of the subfolders and put it under:

C:\Users\John\Documents\MAGIX\Movie Edit Pro 2014 Plus\Images John

and I added in some other subfolders with masks that I have made or found. I use these when I want to insert a mask between 2 images on separate tracks, say on track 2 between images/video clips on tracks 1 and 3. The method is slightly different than the "Load mask" method.

Here is an image of some of the HD masks that you should have. If you have nothing, then you probably did not download the add ons under Help.
