Nope, the mask is not locked, highlighting the mask shows me the points, but I cannot click them. I forgot a key piece of information, that I discovered when I was reworking it with track mattes. The text is a 3D Layer. If I make a new text layer, create a mask, I am then able to select and modify the mask. It appears this is a 3D layer thing. Thoughts on that? My bad on leaving that out.
