    Hi there,

    Brilliant tutorial ! Lead me to make my own flourish…
    But now, Im in a lil bit of trouble: How Do I use this tutorial… I gotta export it right ?
    But to what ? Your tutorial uses and MOV video (as pointed out by Zillur Rehman)

    Also when I try to change backgrounds, the mask colour continues (and creates blots)

    So how do change the colours ?

    Do let me know in the earliest :)
