Creating masks

You can create one or more masks for each layer in a composition. Masks appear in the Timeline window in the order you create them.

You can create a mask using any of the following methods:

• Draw a path using the tools from the toolbox.
• Specify the dimensions of the mask shape in the Mask Shape dialog box.
• Paste a path copied from another layer or from Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop. For more information, see Importing masks from Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.
