  • Add Tracking Mask to PSD or .PNG Layer in AE CC

    Guys, I’m pulling my hair out. Anyway you could give me a quick tip on how to apply a tracking mask to a PSD or .PNG layered on top of a movie file in AE CC? Man i’m going crazy trying to figure this out. Thank you very much in advance.

    I see here: https://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-after-effects-cc/rigid-mask-tracker-in-after-effects-cc/ how to apply tracking mask to an adjustment layer, but the .PSD layer or .PNG layer mask doesn’t offer the “right click > tracking mask” option.

    Please, what am I over looking? I have an AE comp with a PSD file or PNG file which has some bricks for a building, and I need the mask to track as the movie ever so slightly moves.

    Please help me. Thank you.
