scaling a layer with out scaling the mask

[Jason Griffith]

Can you copy the mask to a pre-comp of the layer and scale the source of the pre-comp?

You should be able to precompose the layer and do your scaling then mask the precomposition…

About using track mattes: Is there a way one sold can be used as a track matte for several layers?

I have 3 objects that I move from “behind” a spot in my video. So I can create a square that will be used as a track matte. But I have objects that I want to come from “behind” this spot. I had to duplicate the matte layer 2 times and then have 3 objects and 3 track mattes.

I’m working with 3d layers so I didn’t really want to precomose. I decided it was easaiest for me to just scale the layers and then scale the masks. thanks for the help though.
