scaling within a mask

[Darby Edelen]

You’ll save yourself a headache if you apply your mask to a solid layer and use it as an Alpha Track Matte for your footage.

Alternatively you could pre-compose your footage, apply the mask to the pre-comp and scale the footage inside the pre-comp. This would leave you with fewer layers in the final comp, but be more of a pain to adjust accurately.

what if you put a solid in front of the scaled footage, apply ur mask to it and click subtract on the mask settings.
