animating a mask?
Hey
I have created a mask around a person’s face and basically want to animate that mask as the person moves in the frame (rotoscope)
how do i actually create keyframes for each of the points on the mask.
so far i can only find how to keyframe the entire mask shape and not the individual points in the mask
thanks

A quick additional note:
It is often easier to animate multiple simple masks working together than one intricate mask.
For example:
If you were going to roto a torso and head, you may have separate masks for the body, the head, the forearm, hands, etc. -
Keyframing the mask shape is the same as keyframing the individual points (vertices), because the shape is determined by the position of those points.

thanks for the responses.
I probably didnt explain myself that well, but i figured out what I wanted to do, which was to animate the individual vertices over time….found I could adjust those with the help of the command key.
thanks again!
good tip on using multiple masks as well
