Crop doesn't follow the mask

Question

I'm trying to create a simple animation where the logo moves to the left and disappears once it goes past the edge of the mask. However, when I move the image to the left, it gets cut off even before it reaches the edge of the mask. I tried everything I could think of using Crop or Transform or Opacity, but it always ends up getting cut off early before reaching the end of the mask border. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do not use a mask on the crop effect. Those two don't go together very well.Drop your logo into the EGPMask it with a shape that covers the logoanimate the logo.

I'm a touch confused about why you have a Mask on the Crop effect. That seems a little bit redundant and may be conflicting in an odd way. If you want to use a Mask instead of Crop, then put that on the Opacity effect and you don't need the Crop effect at all. Otherwise, if you want to use Crop, just use the Crop parameters.

Another alternative here is using a Track Matte. You would still need to use Transform of Offset (placed above the Track Matte Key effect) to do the movement.
