Mask Beyond Border of Mask Lines
Posted by Coco Foley on February 28, 2017 at 11:37 pmHey friends,
I am having an issue with an animate mask where the mask is somehow showing up beyond the border of the mask lines. Mask feathering is at zero… What am I missing here?
Greatly appreciate your help as always,
Coco

No other masks on the layer… the blue is just the corners you would grab to scale the mask. Heres a more zoomed out pic.

I don’t think that’s it either. The “shirt mask 2” layer doesn’t come in until later in the timeline. I think it has something to do with the clone stamp tool that I am using to remove some mark’s on the man’s shirt. I am choosing a freeze frame, erasing the marks with the clone stamp, then masking the layer, motion tracking his shirt, and animating the still mask to move with the garment. I’ve used this method before with this project but something is different here. Can’t quite get to the bottom of it!
Thanks for the suggestions,
Coco
