  • adding side stokes to mask (not to the entire rectangle)

    Posted by Christine Chao on September 27, 2013 at 7:02 pm

    I know how to add stroke to mask but is there a way to only add stroke to two sides of the mask instead of the whole rectangle? Thanks.

    Using 3d stroke plugin or generate stroke too i believe you can set a star end and percentage of stroke as well as positioning the offset.

    I tried what you suggested but can only have one border on the side instead of both left and right border… is there any other way?

    Split your mask in half and use one instance of the stroke effect for each half.
