Pan behind tool & masking

[sophied98353339]

Hi, I am trying to move the image inside my mask without moving my mask - i read that you should use the pan behind tool but it doesnt work. I have tried pressing "Y" as suggested. 

Can someone run me through please? I must miss something very easy -.-

Thank you!

Are you asking this for Premiere or After Effects? The pan-behind tool is found in After Effects and this is the Premiere forum.

Thank you - I am on premiere pro.

I followed this tutorial https://www.google.com/search?q=mask+a+video+in+premiere&oq=mask+a+video+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i20i26... but then, I would like to move the video inside.

Is it possible ? Thank you

To move the video inside as shown in this tutorial, go the Effect Controls for the clip in Video Track one and adjust the Position coordinate as needed.

As mentioned before, Pan Behind is an After Effects tool.

If i go to effect control position, its the position of my mask that move. I want my mask to stay in place and just move the video behind to center my character. Thnak you.

I finally found a way around.

1- create my mask with the shape tool.

2 - nest my clip.

3 - apply the Track Matte key effet to my nested clip.

Then i can go to my nest clip and change the position of my video withouth affecting the position of the mask.
