    Hi there

    Running CS5 on a mac pro.
    All my masks show as black outlines, whilst they have different colors assigned in the timeline.
    That’s not right, is it?

    Am i missing a setting or what gives?

    It’s not something I change once I set it and I’m not at an AE machine to check exactly where it’s at, but there’s a preference that says something like alternate mask colors.

    There’s a ‘cycle mask colors’, but that doesn’t seem to change much…

    try duplicating the original layer then putting the mask on the duplicate
