I have a mask of a person's face (profile) while speaking. (I used the pen tool to create the mask)
The mask is complete (lots of small movements, head turns, etc....) and when I make small adjustments to the mask, and start clicking the track button, frame by frame:
Problem is, the other parts of the mask start moving in the wrong directions. Slighty moving, but enough to ruin my prior work.
Is there a way to lock in a finished mask, so no lines move from original tracking.... and make small changes to one little segment?
The regular 'lock mask' will lock the whole mask. I hope there is a way to make a change on one section without damaging the rest of the tracked mask? OR must always start from scratch and do the whole mask over again from the begining for a simple adjustment?
Thanks for reading and your advice.
Best,
Letty
Don't bother editing the mask. Start a new mask for those tiny details and use mask modes to join/ intersect or whatever them. Conversely, duplicating the layer and then combining individual bits would work as would simply using the combined result of multiple masks as a track matte.

Sounds about right.
I was looking for some magic button that would lock all the existing points and let me change the ones I want to.
Now that would be a very cool new feature. Are you reading this Adobe Techs? 😉
Thanks.
