help with pasting mask keyframes into write-on
i am trying to make a mask on a layer then take the mask shape keyframes and copy and paste them into the brush position parameter of write-on as in the “making design elements grow” tutorial. but when i paste it, the brush position is quite a few pixels up and to the left. i have tried reseting the anchor point and position of the layer and precomposing, but it all produces the same results. i must be missing something obvious here, can someone point it out for me?
thanks in advance

If you are trying to move the Brush position…
1) Select all of the keyframe for brush position
2) Park your playback head on one of those keyframe
3) Change your x or y value in the timeline window by click/hold/drag the value for x/y in the effect parameter for that layer

Hi, I had the same problem when i started using this effect. Truth is it’s all about the comps. You have to take the layer that you want to be revealed. Make that into a separate comp. Draw your mask in there and copy it. Then when you jump back to your main comp, paste the mask to it’s corresopnding comp. Then copy the mask that you pasted into comp and paste that one in the write-on effects brush position. Hope I got that right. I just did a logo that used that effect and that’s how i did it. Good luck. Hope this helps.
