Honestly, send over to After Effects. Premiere Pro's masking is quite limited.

3. Re: Premiere Pro CS5 - mask
robodog Apr 1, 2014 9:03 AM (in response to cowanp)I am an AE idiot due to no experience.. but love PS as I've used for years.. and often make titles and masks in PS...although I have seen tutorials where doing the masks in AE if really very similar to PS and pretty easy once you know how...
If you want to though.. if you want to make mask in PS and import that as an image to your video edit.. you can do it.. and then track it or whatever you need to do..
white is tranparent, feathering edges of selection in PS does all the stuff you maybe be used to.. using PS... ( white to black )..
basically open your image in PS , make new channel ( alpha ) , make new path, make the path and fill with white and do what you want with the selection ( feathering etc ).. so you'll have a new layer with your selection ( mask )... make sure the mode is rgb 32 bit.. and " save as " ... you'll get your mask from PS... ( check the box on 'save as ' to include alpha ).
good luck !

Jim has advised you of the best way
If you have not learned After Effects then head over to the Creative Cow website where there are litterary hundreds of video tutorials
http://library.creativecow.net/tutorials/adobeaftereffects/mask
This link shows you the way.
I learned AE by starting with the basic tutorial and then worked my way up.
Cheers

robodog Apr 1, 2014 9:22 AM (in response to Biggles Lamb)As per my own idiocy re: AE and gazillion years of PS experience.. my point is basically re: the fine adjustments to the "path" I can draw using PS... and the control I have over that once I save the path as a selection and it is going to be an alpha channel ( mask import ). I know AE is faster and very nice according to the tutorials but it does work with PS if you are more comfortable with that... good luck !
