Masking Help on SV Pro anyone?

I just got SV Pro ten buut now I'm having problems masking >.< So I finished masking something buut now I don't know how to make the bloody mask show up by itself, any suggestions?

You have to make sure there's nothing underneath the mask file, so no other videos under it?
If that's what you mean.

well I can't seem to figure out to get the mask to show up....I don't have a video file under it soo I don't think that's the problem

Did you connect the dots correctly? That problem killed me so many times. >_>
Make sure the last and the first dots connected. It'll show a difference if it does it right -- I think the screen around it gets darker to show you? I'm not sure. I haven't masked in a while.

Ohh that might be the problem
