Never lose a mask
in your composition again.

Mask Color Pro recolors every mask for maximum contrast against whatever is behind it — the moment you draw it.

Draw. It colors. Keep working.

Mask Color Pro watches as you work. The moment you finish a mask — Pen tool or any shape tool — it samples the colors behind it and picks an outline color the footage can't swallow.

Nearby masks are kept visibly distinct from each other, so twenty masks into a roto session you still know exactly which line is which.

Masks you can actually see

Default mask colors love to vanish: green paths on grass, blue on sky, pale yellow on a highlight. Mask Color Pro reads the actual frame behind every mask and picks a color that survives it.

And on greenscreens — no more pale-on-green guesswork.

No setup. No clicks. No workflow change.
Dock the panel once and it runs every time After Effects opens. Draw exactly the way you already do — the colors just happen.
