    I have a mask on a layer and when I rotate the layer the masks rotates with it. Is there anyway I can make it where the Mask does not rotate with the rest of the layer? Thank for your help.

    Precompose your layer (LAYER > PRECOMPOSE) using the LEAVE ALL ATTRIBUTES option. This will move your layer into it’s own comp and leave the mask in your present comp. Now you can do the rotation in the precomp and the mask will not rotate in the main comp. Does that make sense?
