Garbage matte/way to crop rounded edges from an input/source?

 

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for essentially a garbage matte or something to do the same thing: the portable green screen i'm setting up is rounded on top, and i can't use the usual crop tool to completely remove the top right and left of the background. i've got dog ears. there a module that can accomplish this?

So i did find one way to do this, i was searching for "matte" which doesn't exist, but there is a "masker" module.

Painting a black/white matte in paint/ps/whatever does the trick, but i had to place the masker deep into: Virtualcam/Input1/Line/ just after the keyer module. If you place it in the root into the test input, it will still show your odd shaped mask areas. and you can't use it along with cropper, so disable that. 

If someone has a better way, shout!

@Darren Levine: while it’s easy enough to edit the compound to add an input for the mask (so that you don’t have to go into the compound each time), you could also just do the keying and masking before going into the test input. In this case it would be Input -> Keyer -> Masker -> Test Input. You would off course turn off the original keyer in this case.
