at another frame.
Shape Animation button
Enable to animate a mask using the Shape channel.
Linear Interpolation button
Enable to use linear interpolation of the mask border between keyframes. Disable to use rounded interpolation. This button
is active when the Shape Animation button is enabled.

Adjust box
Select Adj Tangents to have the tangents for the selected vertices adjusted while the points are tracked.
Garbage Mask Node Setup Settings
Spline Keyframing box
Select the parameters to use when animating a Garbage Mask spline. When Shape Animation is disabled in the Garbage Mask general
settings, then the Spline & Tracer, Spline and Item options become available.
Vertex Keyframing box

Channel Selection box
Select which channels are selected in the Channel Editor when you select one or more vertices.
Motion Blur button
Enable to apply motion blur to garbage masks that can be used to match the movement of objects in a clip.
Phase field
Displays whether the motion blur is based on the movement before or after the current frame. -100 places the motion blur before
the frame; a value of 100 places it after the frame.
Shutter field
Displays the duration of the motion blur at each frame. Editable.
Samples field
Displays the number of samples taken at each frame to create the motion blur. Editable.
