Ahh, that's genious Todd! I never thought about doing that. What an excellent tip.

When I have had the same situation in the past, my method was to use the masks as a track matte path, which I could then precompose and use... so if I needed to edit the original, it would update. However it didn't let me have different feathering amounts per instance, which was quite a pain. It got the job done, and is nice in complex roto jobs, where there might be 10 or more masks for one layer. This expression technique would work too but would create a lot of filler.
