Super annoying masking issue
so, I’m doing a lot of rotoscoping and every once in awhile I come across an issue where I can’t click and drag to select multiple mask points. Instead, when I click and drag, it moves the actual clip. I don’t know if it’s something I inadvertently click or what but it slows things way down and is really annoying!

Personally I prefer to animate masks in the Layer Window instead of the Comp Window, and having them side-by-side. You can’t move the layer accidentally. But more importantly:
I disable the visibility of masks in the Comp Window so I can see an uncluttered edges, to see how the masked foreground behaves against the background.
And by disabling ‘render’ in the Layer Window while masking I can see the entire image – not just what’s within the mask. I prefer masking that way, to judge where the edges are. But because the Comp Window is open also can still see the final result.
