Is there a way to edit a frame mask or can I make my own, I looked but could not find where the are stored on my hard drive

You should be able to make your own by using a photo editing program.
Using Adobe Photoshop *.psd files can be used in VS.

The frame mask F04 the car used in VS 9 is located here

c:\program files\ulead systems\ulead videostudio 9.0\samples\decoration\f04.tif

Drag a mask to the timeline, right click select properties for Name.

The Frame mask I am talking about is found in ulead VS9 when applying a mask and chroma key then hit the drop down window to apply mask frame

The Chrome Mask's appear to be Bmp images look here.

C:\Program Files\Ulead Systems\Ulead VideoStudio 9.0\Samples\Image

Thanks Trevor , I had just found that myself , I was hoping it would be a png or a tiff but I can make a bmp also

Ok I put a mask photo into the image folder but no go I pretty much mimicked what they had done with a bmp but the program did not pick up on the photo

Hi belle
The program has probably got an ini file somewhere controlling the bmp’s from M01 to M21.

But if you make a copy one of the Bmp’s (copy of M01)
That will preserve the file.

You could create your own frame (bmp) and save as M01, that will over-write the existing file and should show in the Chrome Mask.
You can always revert back using the ‘copy of M01’

Thanks again Trevor , that should work I will try it tomarrow , I did find a data file called maskframe I started to mess with it but chickened out . I like the program but there is some things that need changable , and I wish it had more layers or overlays
