After Effect Mask problems
I’m making changes to a coworker’s After Effect file. I’m not that great at AE. He has this layer “[Pale Red Solid 1 ]”, it’s over a video file. The video has a guy talking with a horizon behind him. What the layer in question is doing is making the sky brighter. I need to edit this layer so that the mask follows the edge of his head (which it isn’t currently doing very well). But when I click the layer, no vertexs (improper term?) show up. I’m talking about the dots that appear when using the pen tool to make a mask. All I see are 4 vertexs which contain the sky within. When I turn off visibility, the sky darkens so I know I’m dealing with the right layer. How do I edit his vertex’s?

Select the layer in the timleine and hit M. Select the mask in the timeline. If you have all verteces selected, click on the layer (not the mask), then click on a vertex.
That should be in the manual …
