Activity Forums Adobe After Effects I can’t see my masks

  • I can’t see my masks

    Posted by Tim Mcdonough on May 15, 2012 at 8:07 pm

    I’ve searched the forums but was unable to find an answer. When I create a mask I’m unable to see it in the composition. If I open the layer then I can see it but it’s kind of a pain in the ass to try to edit my mask when I can’t view it within the composition. I’ve checked the preferences and AE is NOT set up to cycle the mask colors so I know that’s not it. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    There is a “Toggle Mask and Shape Visibility” button at the bottom of the composition window.

    After you toggle that on and they still don’t show up try typing Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + H.

    Wow, that was easy, can’t believe I didn’t know that. Thanks!
