  • Masks aligning to weird yellow lines??

    Posted by Claudia Gabriela on June 25, 2013 at 7:45 pm

    This is my first time ever even touching Apple Motion… but i’m blurring footage using masks in the program and its annoyingly aligning the masks to these weird yellow lines. How do i make it let me freehand the position of the mask? is there a way to turn these annoying lines OFF?? someone please help!!!!

    Thank you!

    What Mark says obviously, but you can also temporarily disable them by holding down the Command key.

    Handy tip to know if you also work in FCP X where they can be quite irritating sometimes.
