  Copying Masks

  Posted by Sara Jean on April 2, 2008 at 1:41 am

  Hi,

  I’ve animated a subtraction mask for a vector text layer that has been scaled down to 58%. I want to use the same mask to subtract the black solid layer I’ve placed underneath it which is still at 100%. When I copy and paste the mask from the text to the black layer it makes the mask much larger because the layer is larger and I can’t get it to show both masks at the same time to match them up. any ideas?

  Thanks!

  Sara

  Thanks Dave,

  I’m not quite sure what you mean by duplicate the layer and use it again though? The masked layer is an illustrator text layer and the other (the one I’m trying to copy and paste the mask to) is a black solid layer.
