Re: Copy and move multiple masks on the same layer...

Thanks for the suggestion. I did know about this one, but the animation I am making is a bit more complicated than what this method allows for (or at least I believe it is). I am making all of the letters appear at the same time, spreading from their middle to their edges. Doing this with masks was the only way I knew for getting it to look how I wanted.

Happens to the best of us. I made another small problem for my self, with an easy solution: I could not just make a layer with the letter on it and paste the masks and make it allign, as moving the position of the letter also did it for the mask. It has, as you said, to be an exact copy of the origianl layer. So what I did was duplicating the text layer for every letter, keeping the mask for a single letter on each of those and masking the rest of the word out. Then for the duplicate letters I just moved it with transform and aligned it to where it should be.

I think I know how to fix my problem. The thing is I have the entire word on one text layer. I am gonna make a new text layer for every single letter and then paste the coresponding masks. This would allow me to copy and move each letter easily. I did not do this to begin with as I did not know that copying and moving multiple mask animations on the same layer would not be something you could do (without doing it all manually).

I appreciate the answer, but it does not help me unfortunately. (Or maybe I just do not understand exactly what you mean) Here is what happens. I copy my masks and select all keyframes (picture 1), then move my masks to the new position. However this only affects the keyframes which the Current Time Indicator is placed over (as you can see these are the only ones selected) (picture 2). As a result, the rest of the keyframes still have their position at the original letter (picture 3). Is there an easy way to make the 2 C's play the same animation? (I moved all of the T's mask manually, so ignore that one)

I have a text layer on which I have used masks to animate the text. I have multiple masks for every single letter, and since I have more of the same letter in the word I am animating, I would like to copy and move the animation from one letter to another, but I have no idea how to do this in an easy way. When I select all the keyframes of my masks and start to move the mask, only the first keyframes (which are all on the same frame) place my mask at the new position, the rest stay at the original letter. This means that I can only move the keyframes that are aligned on the same frame at once, to the new position, and would have to do so manually for every single point in my timeline, where I have one or multiple keyframes. Is there a way to copy and move multiple masks to a new position, on the same layer, where all of the keyframes of the masks are affected by this move?
