Issue with Masking and Rendering in After Effects

Question

I'm currently working on a project in After Effects and facing an issue with masking. I've created several masks on a layer, and everything looks fine in the composition preview. However, when I render the project, the masks seem to be misaligned or don’t appear as intended. I've tried adjusting the mask settings and re-rendering, but the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered this issue? What steps can I take to ensure that my masks render correctly? Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

We can't give you reasonable solutions to the rendering problem caused by workflow issues without knowing how you have set up your comp. The problem could be as simple as not using the Active Camera view in one or more comps you use for a preview.

If your Render Comp is set to Active Camera, and you don't have any lingering preview frame problems from a sticky disk cache, you should get the same results in a render you see in the main comp. If that is consistently wrong, try turning on or off the GPU acceleration in the render.
