Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Moving Multiple Mask Points

  • Moving Multiple Mask Points

    Posted by Max Jackson on February 16, 2010 at 5:00 am

    While masking or rotoscoping, one can click, then Shift click each additional point to move multiple points.

    However at times I’ve been able to click, then Shift drag a box around the points I want which is a lot easier.

    Has anybody run into this? And what am I doing that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t?

    See “Select masks, segments, and vertices”.

    Hey Todd,

    Yeah, I really search those sites. I know this stuff should typically be out there before asking the same redundant question. It’s just that I could be doing one small thing and that’s why it doesn’t work.

    Like I figured this one out. The reason it was only working sometimes, was because I think before I wasn’t selecting a point first. I could’ve sworn that’s what I did before trying to drag across more points.

    Anyway, hopefully that stupid mistake on my part was the key. I love it when I’m wrong that way. I can get back to asking real questions.

    Thanks, 🙂
