Let's say you want to create a mask, in this case, a rectangle-shaped one, and you want all the layers underneath to be visible inside that mask but not outside of it.
One easy way of doing this, is by changing the "Mode" on this shape/mask to "Stencil Alpha". This way it will hide everything outside of the mask, including this white background.
But what if you don't want it to affect ALL layers underneath your mask?
Maybe you still want the background to be visible even outside of the mask?
You can do this by changing the Shape Layer back to "Normal", change "Opacity" on this Shape Layer to 100% and then hide it.
Now, go to the "Effects & Presets" window, search for "Set Matte" and drag and drop that effect onto one of the layers.
Go the properties of that effect and next to "Take Matte From Layer", select your mask in the dropdown menu.
Now, simply click on the word "Effects", click "Cmd + C" to copy the effect and then select all the layers where you want to apply this effect and click "Cmd + V".
Now you have masked out ALL the shapes and the first row of text, but not the background.

Doesn't seem to work for me, I guess by adjusting some properties the mask is getting messed up somehow. I wish there was a way of telling after effects "hey! this is a mask keep it as is whitoutlooking a no scale properties.

@dannyblessinger7428 3 ай бұрын

So I was able to make the mask, but it only reveals part of the image that I wanted to show if I adjust the stroke for some reason and make it incredibly big it will reveal the entire image however, the mask becomes so big that it is pointless, because it will be revealed in the hall composition

Hello! Thank you for the tutorial, but how to move objects inside the mask? I mean second option with Set Matte.

@DavidLindgren89 Жыл бұрын

Hey, great question :) You’ll have to change the position of the actual shape inside the layer, rather than the layer itself. You should see a ”Position” property under the shape you want to move.
