Question

an oval mask in After Effects is not converted, remains rectangular.

Hello,

 

an oval mask in After Effects is not converted, remains rectangular. Only when I pull the mask extension to minus does the oval shape slowly appear.
This has only been the case since the last update. Before, you double-clicked on the oval mask symbol at the top of the bar and the mask was immediately displayed as an oval. The line-shaped mask outline now appears, but the video remains rectangular.

Sorry for my english but i can only use google translate

 

greeting
Jürgen

I'm pretty sure that the problem is associated to some of the effects you applied to that layer. Effects are processed after masks and can affect them. What you can do is to precompose this layer without the mask, including all the effects. Then create the mask over the precomp and I'm sure it will work.
