Question about masks
I am watching the 2nd DVD set of Total Trainings AE 6.5 and I am not having any luck with the masks section that Steve H teachs. The trouble I am having has to do with being able to move the inverted mask around to the next position. What happen was I first made the adjustment layer, moved it above the layer to be masked, using the oval mask I made a cirle then inverted it to reveal the hidden layer, if I move the mask the entire adjustment layer moves and you see my oval along with the edge of the layer instead of just seeing the oval move. I have this feeling it is something simple, but I just now learning AE and I don’t know that much about this program.
Please somebody help me.
Thanks,

I did click on the stopwatch for Mask shape and the only thing that I seem to be able to move is the entire layer instead of only the mask.

The effect is like a spotlight that moves from side to side. The effect I get is the adjustment level moving with the inverted mask.

You need to select the mask itself. Select the mask’s name so it is highlighted, then click on the edge of the mask. Then try dragging it around. How have you been trying to do this?

You nailed my problem. I got an answer this morning and the trouble I was having had to do with correctly selecting the mask. Thanks for your input.
