Understanding the "Sandwich Logic" for Masking and Effects in Shotcut

[TLR_Pictures]

This video explains a powerful workflow called the “Sandwich Logic” to help users master masking. It demonstrates how to properly stack filters, starting with a Mask: Simple Shape, adding effects like Opacity and LUT (3D), and closing the stack with Mask: Apply, to gain precise control over where and how effects are applied to your footage.

I struggled a lot with this, getting the stacking order right especially, learning it all through trial and error, so this video will be very useful to new users of Shotcut. I would have been grateful to have had it back in the day. Thanks for producing it!
