Sharing a mask
by steve mclelland on Jul 3, 2009 at 6:34:36 am

If you have a mask on layer 1, is there an easy way to "share" the mask on layer 2 (and possibly invert or adjust) without duplicating the mask?

Here is my setup.

I have the same footage on two layers. I have an animated roto mask running over time on layer 1 and I want to have the inverse of that exact mask on layer 2 but, I don't want to duplicate the mask. I'd like to use the same mask so that I can continue refining it over time.


Thanks!
