Linking 2 or more masks? (Move one mask, the other moves with it)
hello everyone, I’m looking for a way to link masks on the same layer.
The scenario:
masking a mans pupils(eyes), to move them around artificially.
I use a circular mask on each eyeball. Then I move the mask as
his pupils move around. So far so good, but I have to do it twice,
once for each ball! As eyes move in unison, this is unnecessary.I would love to do one and have the 2nd mask ‘linked’
to the first. I’ve googled but to no avail. any help greatly appreciated, thanks!

– Turn on keyframing for Mask Path for each mask.
– Select both masks by selecting their names while holding ctrl (probably the command key on Mac).
– Just move them. If they’re selected together, they’ll move together.
That will get you what you want but to throw in my two cents, you’ll still need to fine-tune each pupil as you’ll be fighting the perspective as the camera as well. No one, hopefully, will be looking dead straight into the camera.
