Rotoscoping segment the rotobrush tool outline turns into a mask that covers the entire image that was rotoscoped. I can't see any reason why it did this! Any ideas?

I'm going crazy, as I can't for the life of ,e figure this out. I didn't add any keyframes or do anything to make this happen. I've tried inverting the mask etc. to no avail- any ideas? the weird part is, is that it fades in!  Please help! _ (I know I got a bit happy with the refine edge tool. (1st Try at rotoscoping.)

I'd appreciate any help, ideas for tutorials etc. _I love What AE can do, BUT I SUCK AT IT! LOL - I'm an old film - TV editor who came fro the Union where Editors Edit and VFX guys did VFX - Now we have to do everything. Thank you all!

It looks like you have the show mask button selected. Everything is normal. You haven't done a first rate job yet but the display is correct according to your settings.

Rotobrush is not intuitive. Type "Rotobrush" in the search help field at the top right corner of AE and check out the community resources. I don't know anyone that successfully use Rotobrush without getting a little training. You should find some excellent tutorials and a lot of information in the help files.
