    you can paint a mask using vector paint. It’s in Effects -> Paint . You can then choose to use the paint as a matte. When animated this can be good for revealing signatures etc etc. There is a tutorial here at the cow somewhere that uses vector paint for rotoscoping.

    You could paint a monochrome matte in photoshop, import it to AE and use it as a luma matte.
