How do you make a mask in after effects?
Masks are created by drawing paths on any layer with a visual component; that is, anything you can create or import into After Effects that you can actually see in a composition. It’s possible to create what are called open paths, which are just kind of a line you’re drawing on the layer, and those don’t do anything by themselves.
How do I animate mask paths and shape paths?
You animate mask paths and shape paths in much the same way that you animate other properties: set keyframes for the Mask Path or Path property, set paths at each keyframe, and After Effects will interpolate between these specified values.
How do I create keyframes in after effects?
Since After Effects is an animation program, we can of course be making our mask change over time, which I can do by activating the stopwatch here on the Math Path property, to start creating keyframes. So, maybe I’ll start with this shape here, go forward a little bit here, and then change a few points.
How do I move a mask around?
We’ll just move this around a little bit… To free transform the entire mask, you can double-click directly on the path. Now you’ll be able to move it around, as well as scale and rotate it. To close that out, double-click again, either directly on the path or anywhere outside of it.
