    I’m trying to get an image to appear from behind a mask. I’m using Motion 4 template “Text line reveal” but when I substitute a .png for a text the mask moves with the photo.

    What can I do, to get the mask to stay right where it is?
    Thank you,

    Bobby

    If you place an image in a group and add the mask to the group then when you move the image the mask will stay in place. Hope this helps and best of luck.

    For your information, the text is moving using style.Offset.x

    Thank you for your help,

    ok. on that motion template the mask was for the text line and they used a offset to move the text.
    Thanks for the tip!
