How to use SVG lines as the mask / mapping outline? Is it possible?

Hey guys, new to madmapper and loving everything so far, but I'm hung up on this:

How do I use my imported SVG lines as the mask for a movie? Basically, I would like to use my SVG outline as the shape of the movie mask, but I can't figure it out.

Here I have a basic quad video, with the yellow SVG lines above it. I would like the lines to become a mask for the video, so the video only plays within the lines. Is this possible?

That might be possible with a future version of MadMapper. But not at the moment. You can make a mask image from your SVG, and put it on another quad on top with blending mode "Multiply"

Thanks for the support, this works well for me. I will use that approach. Took me a few tries to realize that I would need to do black for OFF and white for ON. But now I get it, and it gives me the results I needed. Appreciate it very much.
