Trying to understand magic bg remover

I'm new to all this, so will just describe what i've done:

- dragged a clip onto the timeline in edit view

- opened fusion panel and applied magic bg remover

- drew a 'keep' section on the clip, then hit process frames forward

- allowed it to process the frames.

what's confusing me is that although i see the bg removed in fusion panel, it's not reflected in the edit panel.

i've tried disk-cache render in fusion, but that hasn't helped.

what am i supposed to do to get the fusion processing to show up in edit panel... and hence to be able to deliver/render the processed video?

feeling like a bit of an idiot at this point!

Resolve studio 19, windows 10 pc. working with mp4 video

-- also worth mentioning, i put edge detection fliter on the clip in fusion before the bg remover -- that shows up in the edit view, but not the bg removal.
 
I could try to explain it, but there are different ways to accomplish it. I believe a video would prove more useful.

 
Thanks, great video, very informative.
It turns out there was no problem as such with magic mask in my case -- i just was expecting a grey checkered background to appear in edit view like in Fusion, to tell me that the transparency was 'working'. In fact, the transparency just appears black in edit view. So, it turns out it was working, all i had to do was put a video or background under it to see the effect.
