How to move mask paths over several keyframes all at once?
-
Thanks for chiming in Dave.

Thanks for your time, unfortunately it still doesn’t work. It only moving the vertices on the keyframe I am focusing.
I tried to make screenshots of what happen:

Then I want to move all the animation to another position (3rd pic), but only the keyframe I am in focus do the move and the other keyframes automatically deselect (still doesn’t work with the CTRL+T transform). In the 4th pic it tweening in it original position instead of the intended new position.

The keyframes in the posted images do not change position, the first keyframe remains at 0 and the second remains at 2:18.
Do you want to move all the mask vertices to a new position or move the keyframes?
Do you want a new animation tween or do you want all vertices at the new position at both keyframes?

[Brian Charles] “do you want all vertices at the new position at both keyframes?”
That’s what I want, by keeping the animation tween if possible. The other way around I’ve been reading is to create a vector shapes layer and make my animation, then link as a alpha layer.
But I never understood shapes, they aren’t intuitive enough.

When the vertices move it will interpolate a new tween. If you need to hold the vertices at a position, use a hold keyframe.

but I still want the animation, I just want to change the position of all the vertices over all the keyframes. It still wouldn’t let me change position throughout every keyframes regardless the interpolation I choose.

[Dave LaRonde] “If it is, follow my instructions above. If not, find an English speaker to write for you.”
As I already explained, I already did what you suggest, it just doesn’t work. As soon I move the path, whether with the keyboard arrows or with the mouse, the other keyframes deselect and only the path keyframe I’m in focus are moving. The other paths in the other keyframes stay as is.

I found this thread because I have the exact same questions. Jonz Marz, I just want you to know you have explained it about as clear as it can be explained. I don’t know why no one understands what your asking, because it makes perfect sense to me. And if had the answer I’d love to share it with you but unfortunately I am seeking the answer myself. If you figured it out, could you share it with me please? Thanks!

I ended up with a different strategy since this one obviously was doomed to not work. At the end, I just made the mask animation, then move with the shape anchor point. Was less tedious than I thought it would be but still would have prefer if masked method could have worked first.

You basically copy the animated path and make it into a shape layer. From there I just made the first layer alpha track matte the shape layer. You can move it around freely from there.
