  Duplicate Layer into its Separate Masks

  Posted by Andy Diesel on July 29, 2024 at 5:36 am

  Hi, Creatives

  I have a large file (25576x14386px) that moves around my HD (1080) canvas and reveals its masked titles at each stop. The process I’ve been using so far is a manual copy-pasting of opacity keyframes but this takes a huge amount of time and needs shaving down the time by automation.

  Having no experience and only familiarizing with After Effect’s expressions, I believe the best way to do this is to duplicate the layer by the number of its masks and pre-comp it into a subproject. This pre-comp should control each title mask layer through markers and sliders.

  How To Code:
  – Automate the division of a layer by its multiple masks in sequential order.

  – Control this pre-comp to align with the voice-over recording.

  Please ask if you have further questions.

  Best regards
  Andy Diesel
