The mask shows to the because its  likely still enabled in your sequence. Turn off mask visibility and  disable mask effects before exporting to fix it.

Hi,

Sorry for the issue. Which version of After Effects and Media Encoder are you using? Please check your Media Encoder settings and see if any checkboxes under the "Effects" tab are enabled. Please also import the exported video back to After Effects and let us know if you still see the difference.

 

Thanks,

Ishan

Latest Version fo AE an ME, nothing is checked under Effects.
If I exported the file dircetly from AE there's no issues with the masks, it appears only on ME.
I tried diffrent way to mask and diffren setting for ME and they all show masks! the wierd thing is there's an old file I made ~year ago and when I tried to export it the masks are fine! altought it's exactly the same way and the same project setting for both files.
