  Hello,

  and sorry sorry form y bad english.

  I have made this little mask-animation in AfterEffects (in reality the animation is about six minutes long):

  But I do not like the arrows anymore. Is it possible to replace them with an other sign without to much work?

  Yep, pretty easy really.

  Just make your new mask shape (with the Pen Tool if you want). “M” on the selected layer reveals the Mask and Mask Shape. Select the new Mask Shape, then Copy.

  In you old arrows layer(s), select all those masks, then Paste and you should have all new shapes doing the original animation, replacing the arrows.
