Masking cuts off image

I am editing a video with an image. Whenever I click the mask button and makes masks, the image I'm masking becomes cropped and the sides get cut off. What do I do? I tried to export it and see if it would be different in the final result but it wasn't. Thanks.

    try to keyframe the masks without basic 3d

    nest your clip (right click - nest)

    apply basic 3d to the nested

    maybe try in reverse, apply the basic 3d, nest the clip then mask the nested

    or try to shift the effects order in the Effect Controls one before another and test

    Just tried that. I shifted a ton of things and it still did not change

    Okay wait, it may work except I can't past the mask into the clip because it is a different size now. So is there a way to paste the mask, independent of the size of the clip?

    update: I figured out the issue relates to 3D and that the image has a small frame, so how to I widen the frame of the image for the master image, but not the image itself

    the issue only occurs when I use basic 3D and masking

    Use the mask from Opacity.
