    Shape mask changing size after export

    Posted by Gary Caganoff on June 26, 2015 at 6:44 am

    Hi there.

    Thanks for your attention. I have a perplexing issue when exporting finished files to MP4. My Projects have in each of them a ‘Custom’ colour and on that a shape mask to make the effect of highlighting with a spotlight a subject (map) on a darkened background. All fine until I export to MP4 the spotlight is smaller than what it was in the project, blackening out half of the subject.

    Thanks for your help.

    Screenshots please. Are you doing the masks in proxy mode by any chance?

    Thanks Noah. Yes, I am in Proxy. Will re-edit the mask in full res and see if that helps.
