Shape layer with masked Effect repeatable crash condition
- Issue - Shape Layer with Transform Effect using layer mask as effect mask – adjusting keyframes crashes AE.
- Steps to reproduce - Add a mask to a shape layer (created by Overlord in my case) using Layer>Mask>New Mask, add a Transform Effect, add position keyframes so the contents of the Shape layer are outside the mask and animate to the original position. Use the mask as an Effect mask. Notice that mask is not masking on first frame but otherwise appears to animate into position. Adjust first position keyframe to crash After Effects.
- Expected result - Shape layer contents should move via the Transform Effect.
- Actual result - After Effects crashes.
- Screen recording – in safe mode and slightly different order of process to reproduce
