AI Smart Masking in Filmora for Mac
AI Smart Masking in Filmora is an advanced editing feature that simplifies how users isolate and highlight specific parts of a video. Traditionally, masking required precise manual work to trace objects frame by frame, but Filmora’s AI-powered system automates this process with intelligent detection. It can identify subjects such as people or objects and separate them from the background with impressive accuracy.
This allows editors to create cinematic effects, focus attention on key elements, or apply selective edits without complex manual adjustments. Ideal for creative storytelling, it brings professional-level masking control to everyday video editing workflows.

Steps to Use AI Smart Masking in Filmora for Mac
Filmora provides an intuitive workflow that allows users to apply different AI masking modes directly from the timeline. Read the steps mentioned below to learn how to perform this:
Step 1. Create a New Project and Import Clip
Launch Wondershare Filmora on your Mac and click New Project from the home screen. Import your video file and drag it onto the timeline to begin editing.

Step 2. Open AI Mask Settings
Double-click the clip in the timeline to open the properties panel. Go to the Video tab, find the Mask section, and select the AI Mask option.

Step 3. Select Subject for Masking
Choose the Select Subject option to let Filmora automatically detect and highlight the main object in the video.

Step 4. Select Character for Masking
Use the Select Character option to refine detection specifically around human figures for more accurate isolation.

Step 5. Use Smart Brush
Activate the Smart Brush tool and manually refine the mask by painting over areas you want to include or exclude. Once the masking results are complete and refined, click the Export button to save the final video to your Mac.
