  • Axis/Anchor Point

    Posted by Randy Van patten on November 5, 2005 at 6:46 am

    I have created a mask on a layer and I have key framed the mask to follow a certain point on my video. I would like to move and keyframe the mask on the edge of my mask but I can’t seem to figure out how to move the axis to the edge of it. I move the anchor position and it moves my mask & not the cross for the anchor. Please help. I am sure it can be done. I am just being stupid. Thanks.

    Use the Pan Behind Tool (shortcut key “Y”) – if Iam understanding your issue correctly.

    Use that to move the Axis to a certain point on my mask? I’ll try it. Can I key frame it with my mask shape?
