  • Don’t want mask to move with object!

    Posted by Tony Andrea on January 28, 2013 at 9:48 pm

    I want my inverted mask to stay in place while the object below it moves. How can I achieve this? Every time I animate the object to move from left to right the mask moves with it instead of staying in place.

    I’m creating an iPad-type demo, where an image goes from left to right on the screen. I’ve created a scrolling image to be displayed on a cut-out iPad .png and want the mask to only display on the screen shaped mask I’ve created instead of moving with the image.

    How can I separate the mask from the moving image it is associated with?

    Thanks in advance!

    Put the layer in a group, mask the group, then move the layer.

    Excellent, thank you! I had to be sure to flatten first!
