  Mask content won’t move with mask

  Posted by Nate Marotz on January 6, 2022 at 3:58 pm

  First of all, sorry for the noob question; I’m currently watching a tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbRlyn6Rwck) for masking out blemishes and I can’t seem to make the mask content move when I move the mask. I double clicked until a box surrounded the mask and dragged it over but it still won’t move.

  If you want to move both the mask and the content together, you should move the entire layer. Do not double-click to gain access to the mask; single-click (or select in the timeline), and drag in the preview panel wherever you want it to go.

  You can also select the layer in the timeline, press P to open the position property, then click and drag (scrub) the position values in the timeline to move the layer.
