  • 1.  Animating a Masked object

    Posted 10-02-2013 22:27
    Hey all... I'm having trouble animating a mask. I've created my mask using a layer object, which works fine.. and then my backplate "box" is under object layer (masked elements). But now I want to animate the mask, masked image, and box altogether. There are no transform controls for the layer object. When I try to group them either the masked & image will disappear or the backplate will disapper. I've checked the rendering for the object layer and it is set to manual.

    Basically I have a frame image and need to put a headshot inside that frame (using a mask, so i can resize) and then animate all these elements together as 1 piece. Is this possible?

    Thanks

    Steve,

    You will need to put them all into a group object and animate that. After you drop them in the group object you'll likely have to reset their locations. If anything is disappearing when you place it in the group object I would make sure to check each the z-scale for the objects.
