Masks weirdness

So below are two photos with some animation on them inside nested clips. Both nested clips have the "same" mask on them (copied from top one to bottom) but for some reason (could be a gap in my knowledge I'll admit) the mask on the second image changes its orientation and scale. Both nested clips are scaled to the same size and the photos inside them are at 100%. How is it possible that the mask is copying wrongly?

Thanks y'all.

Actually sorry, I've worked it out. One of the nested sequences was at different physical dimensions. D'oh.

Thanks for your help, Ann.

If you scale an image with the mask already added the mask will scale up also.

Put the mask on the nest instead of inside the nest.

Why is the clip nested?

Sorry, Ann, I think you're misunderstanding me (or very possibly I haven't made myself entirely clear). The masks are on the nested clips, that's what I can't understand - a copy of the mask isn't a direct copy, it changes the mask.

The clips are nested because the animation on the photos inside involves position and I want to be able to control overall position.

That make any more sense?
