2. Re: How to Pan and Scan and keep a mask stationary?
DVDmike Dec 17, 2010 5:15 PM (in response to TimeRemapper)Thanks. So I just need to create a solid, punch my hole in it using the mask, disable the solid visibility, then use it as a track matt for my layer that I was trying to mask. This should work perfectly.
But why does a mask change positions and size when I change the layer's position and scale in the first place? If you change the track opacity, the mask opacity does not change. Does the mask also follow a parented layer's scale, etc? I have probably taken advantage of this "feature" in the past w/o thinking about it. But now it sounds counter-intuitive to me. It would be nice if there was an option for the mask size, position etc. to follow the layer's properties or not.

TimeRemapper Dec 17, 2010 5:30 PM (in response to DVDmike)Yup, a mask's shape will be altered when you change a layer's position or scale (or rotation). If you want to have some sort of toggle switch for a mask to be comp dependent versus layer dependent, then you can file a feature request.
