Color mask opacity? Is this possible?

I'd like to add a color mask, then reduce the opacity of it to reveal content of a clip underneath. Is this possible?

At the very bottom of Keyer is a Mix parameter. You can control the amount of opacity with it to create a reveal.

How to mask a clip based on the key of another I have two videos overlapped on one another. One is a white shadow of the object against a black background. The other is of the colour of the object. I've masked the white shadow with a luma keyer so only the white parts are visible. I want to mask the colourised video using the white shadow as a mask, so that all semi transparent parts are recognised from the white shadow. So I can then place the colourised video against backgrounds successfully. How do I do this?

How to apply an effect only to the opaque area of a clip in FCPX? For example, say that in FCP I have a solid generator and on top of that I design an alpha mask. Then, I want to apply e.g. the border effect but I only want it to be applied to the border of the mask. How to do that?

Using a 'shape mask' when colour grading -- can I create a 'Draw Mask'? 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 ...

The Keyer allows you to key out any color. Use the eyedropper to select the color and adjust the range.
