  • moving and scaling multiple mask paths at once

    Posted by Thijs Boeree on February 22, 2022 at 1:12 pm

    Hi,

    I’ve rotobrushed a lot of frames and “auto traced”  a mask path on every keyframe, now i want to move and scale al these path’s at once.

    I want to offset all the mask paths at once but i can’t figure out how?

    If i select all the key frames and use the ctrl+t option it only moves the first keyframe…

    Anyone? Thanks in advance! 

    Best reagrds,

    What I think you’ll need to do is use this layer with the mask keyframes as a track matte. So… duplicate the layer (turn off the masks from the lower one) and then alter the position and scale of the upper layer, so that you can shift the mask paths instead of trying to alter the keyframes.

    Thank you, only i don’t understand something, i use the mask on a solid layer, and if i select track matte on the solid layer, i can’t do anything with it… i think tough…

    Also i need the mask as a path for my audio spectrum effect…

    Best regards,

    A bit further now…. i did exactly as you described in your solution… only if i move the solid layer, the whole layer moves and the mask with it…

    Also i need the mask as a path for my audio spectrum effect…

    Best regards,

    Hi again, the only thing i actualy need is some sort of “transform” container around the animated mask where i can change the paramaters of the animated mask over time…

    Best regards,
