Set matte mask acting weird

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with the 'set matte' effect. When I create a shape layer that acts as a mask and I place the 'set mate' effect on the layer I want to have masked, the mask works but it is way smaller then the mask layer. I don't know why this happens sometimes.

Maybe someone knows a fix?

Thanks!

Just to make sure you're aware, as of fall 2022, a single layer can be used as a matte for as many layers as you like, and the matte layer no longer needs to be directly above the layer being matted.

Why not just use the Track Matte?

Yeah that is no problem if you need to mask one layer, but it is a pain in the ass when you need several layers masked

Set Matte uses the actual layer size and doesn't honor any scaling. Make sure layer sizes match nad your shape layer is at 100% scale. Do any scaling within the shape group, not on the layer.

Hm I made a new mask and didn't scale it, but the problem is still there.
