Hi,

 

I’m new to AE and I was wondering if there was a way for me to combine all of these mask into one mask. I am trying to animate this image from top to bottom but since there are multiple mask it is animating it sequentially. Alternatively is there a way to prevent multiple mask from being created when tracing a complex image?

    You may want to review using the pen tool. Normally if you have a dot (vertex) highlighted when you create your next point it will be part of the same mask. If I understand your question correctly re-creating it as one mask would be helpful. Also please let us know what you’re looking for in the end result of your animation.
