Mask

[Johan]

Guys, is it possible to save mask (only) for future use instead of making a new one?

Thanks alot

Can't you make a mask in Illustrator?

I'm pretty sure you can. So just save the .ai file.

You can make a mask in Illustrator, and then copy paste it into AE.
If you've already made your mask inside AE simply copy paste it into AI.

Well there you have it.

The solution to your problem J.

Thanks Sal ;D

Wait a minute..
I think that is not the kind of mask I need to save.
What I need is to save the keyframeable mask inside a layer , so I can use that mask on other layer or comp

[Jive]

All you need to do is copy and paste from one layer/comp to another layer/comp. It is saved in the composition when you save the project.

Yes, you are right, we can do it on adjustment layer, but what if I want to copy just the mask of layer A to layer B ?

[Segarza]

Select the layer you want to copy de mask from, press 'M' then only select the Mask you wish to copy, press Ctrl-C and then just Ctrl-V on the layer you wish to apply this mask.

Yes, that's what I need. Thanks Salvador :)
