• se­lect "Video Cap­ture De­vice"

On the new video cap­ture de­vice, right-click and then click the "Fil­ters" op­tion on the pop-up menu.

• Create a new filter under "Ef­fect Fil­ters" by pressing the "+" button.
• Se­lect the "Image Mask/​Blend" filter op­tion.
• Choose "Alpha Mask" for type, and se­lect an image from your com­puter.

• Set the color to #ffffff and choose the mask file from your com­puters under the "Path" config.
