    When creating a bezier mask, is there a way to “break” the bezier handles, as in Flash? I just need the two handles of one control point to act independently of each other.

    Howdy,

    Two ways to break the tangents: option+drag a handle or right-click on a handle and choose “Break Handle” from the menu.

    Once you break the handles, they will stay broken (independent). If you right-click on a broken handle, you can re-lock the handles (without realigning) or realign them. Cmd+dragging out new handles on a point also resets the alignment and lock.
