Any adjustment you apply to this layer, effects all of the layers beneath it. So, if you create a new Adjustment Layer, drag Black and White onto it- everything below this layer is affected. This allows you to block out or emphasise certain colours/effects.
Effects & Presets:
Drag and drop onto layer bar. There is thousands to choose from (similar to photoshop in parts)
Cutting out a section/Track Mat:
Draw rectangle, overlay it to the section you want to cut out. Use the below setting and play around with the settings until it works. This means you can bring in animated footage below, meaning it will only be visible where the rectangle is cut out.
