Question / Help "Draw Mask" feature

[Danklim]

Hi, Is there any way to "draw a mask" on my video capture source?

I have a couple of stands in the background of my studio that show in the corners of my frame and that block parts of my green screen in background. When editing in final cut pro x, i can "draw mask" to easily remove these stands from the video. Is there any way to do this in OBS (other than a full cropping)?

I've tried using the Image mask effect, but it doesnt seem to work like this (unless i am misunderstanding).

Hi, can anybody please offer some input about this? I'm still trying to block out some parts of my frame (stands and microphones that are shown on the camera).

If there is no way to use a "draw mask" effect in OBS, are there any creative solutions to making non-rectangular crops? It doesn't need to be as precise as the "draw mask" tool in final cut pro x, i just want to make a couple non-rectangular crops/cut-outs.

The background is green screen, so maybe i could use a green image overlay or an alpha channel to block out that portion of the screen where the stands are? I'm not sure if that would work though, maybe there are other ways to do it? Do you think it is possible to do now?

You cannot draw a mask inside OBS, but you can mask the source with a black and white image.
