The shape mask in the inspector is pretty simple, a circle, oblong, rectangle, square. I'm wondering if there is a way to create a shape mask similar to the 'Draw Mask' ... so I can do something a bit more elaborate?
I want to stay in FCPX for the grading.
All ears ...

Not directly, but there are some options. You could add a duplicate of your clip, placed directly above it, apply the Draw Mask to the top copy and do a separate grade for the two.
Or you can add more than one shape mask, adding and subtracting as needed, to approximate the rest of a Draw Mask. And, of course, there’s also a Color Mask.

Good ideas. Will try them all.
I’ve used the shape mask, sometimes a dozen times in the same shot (IMAX). Haven’t used the Color Mask much for some reason. Ha, going to try it right now.
And I’ll see if the effort is worth making two clips (delivery of film on a schedule)… I’ll report back
Thank you kindly Luis
Using a 'shape mask' when colour grading -- can I create a 'Draw Mask'?
