Speaking of masks and moving them, IS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE TO A “POSITIONS” SECTION FOR A MASK? I have a video clip where two invisible walls slide onto and off of some text as the background video passes over a certain area. I have motion captured the location of the walls successfully and have applied the data to two “transparent” shapes (opacity set to 0%), but have recently learned that the only way to hide the text with a transparent cover is masks and their “subtract” option (right?). Unfortunately, a certain layer can only be affected by its own masks, so I was wondering if there was some way I could apply the motion capture data (or keyframed positions) of the shape layers to a mask that belongs to the text layer (without moving the text itself)in order to make it slide onto the text, wiping it off and making it disappear at a certain moment. Is there any way I can do this or achieve my general goal?

Thanks,
Jacob
