Hi, I am trying to move the image inside my mask without moving my mask - i read that you should use the pan behind tool but it doesnt work. I have tried pressing "Y" as suggested. 

 

Can someone run me through please? I must miss something very easy -.-

 

Thank you!

Correct answer sophied98353339

If i go to effect control position, its the position of my mask that move. I want my mask to stay in place and just move the video behind to center my character. Thnak you.


I finally found a way around.

 

1- create my mask with the shape tool.

2 - nest my clip.

3 - apply the Track Matte key effet to my nested clip.

Then i can go to my nest clip and change the position of my video withouth affecting the position of the mask.

Are you asking this for Premiere or After Effects? The pan-behind tool is found in After Effects and this is the Premiere forum.
