    Hi,

    I was wondering does anyone know how to to Make a mask Move over text?

    I’m needing to hide a box of text from the bottom left side to the top right side, and then back again revealing a different box of text.

    but I can’t seem to work out how to make the Mask Move…?

    Stewart,

    To answer your actual question about animating masks, keyframe the mask shape.

    As someone new to AE, I highly recommend you start here [link] and work your way through all of the linked resources.
