Masking question…
Let’s say I have two shapes. A circle and a line.
I want the line to be unseen until it rotates in front of the circle.
Every time I create a shape to mask the line, it matches the rotation of the line.
I’d like the mask to stand completely still, while the line rotates independently.
This takes about 1 second to do in photoshop…
How do I do this in AE?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Not quite sure I understand what you’re trying to do, but a mask only moves if you animate it.

Don’t use a mask for this; use a track matte [link].

Try rotobrush. It works wonders on pretty much anything.
