  Masks not working properly

  Posted by Albin Ernholm on December 8, 2017 at 11:06 am

  Hi everyone!

  Has anyone else experienced the following in the latest CC releases.

  I have a short clip which I’m trying to mask (subtract) a PSD in and when I for instance move the mask path it wont update until I either adjust expansion or feather, same thing with opacity, it wont update either, until expansion or feather is adjusted.
  And say for instance I have a feather at 5 at frame one and a opacity at 40, the next frame I need opacity at 60, I then need to change feather to say 6 make the mask update, when at frame 3 I need to be at 0 opacity I need to update feather again to update the mask, but 5 wont work because then the mask will be incorrect at frame 1.

  Very frustrating!
  Has anyone else experience this?

  Cheers!

  I’m still using 2015 version but sometimes get mask updating problems or if I make a change to footage and then undo, it doesn’t seem to update the image.

  For me, this is when I’ve been using the pc a while (just putting it to sleep instead of switching it off) and either reloading AE or rebooting my pc seems to help.
