Thank You! problem solvedit was grow bounds / simple choker was the type of thing i was after in my head..but it doesn’t work anyway so nvm!😂i also had no idea about scaling masks uniformly with with CMD T 😳, that would have reduced many a grey hair and wrinkles had i known about that years agoThank you for your help!

thanks for your reply,
this doesn’t work unfortunately as the effect needs to use the layer mask information to create the outline.
so i need to apply the effects on the shape layer which has the masks, within the comp.

any other solutions i could try?
thanks again

Thanks so much for this.
i’d like to understand second half of it so i dont have to keep asking people, maybe help others!
is it shorthand code? i know im asking a lot but would you be able to briefly explain it?
or point me in a direction where i can learn, understand or unpack this.
thank you again!

or is there a way i can rotate all those layers simultaneously with one control?
so i dont have to keyfarme them all individually?
