Copy to another mask layer

Hello

Is there a way I can copy a mask to another layer with all its keyframes? I'm looking for a quicker way to have to run a loop and setValueAtTime each keyframes. (I have a keyframe at each image and it would be a cumbersome process)

Thank you

If you want to copy the mask being, i.e. without changing anything (without shift of position, without change of scale etc.) most short way is probably to use an expression (thisComp.layer("MyRefLayer").mask (1) .maskPath, something like that).

But if you want to change something in the coordinates of the path, you can probably escape looping through all of the keyframes.

And if you really have a lot of keys, setValuesAtTimes by pieces of say 100 (fire in the dark), could be shorter than to set the keys one by one.

Xavier.

    To turn off the mask of the dough, just right-click the button, and then select Properties. Go in the tab CSA. At the bottom right, you will see checkboxes for solder and paste photomask. You can uncheck to remove the mask of the dough.

  • Why duplicate the background layer sometimes creates a layer named "Background copy" and other times "Layer 1"?

    I write an action that begins by copying the layer background twice, but action is hindering because he is looking for "Background copy" but the Ps has created "Layer 1"instead.

    It renames the copy of the background layer 1 layer if there is any other layers. It renames the version copy background if there are other layers.

    I can simply do an export using the Outlineload export from the existing, then use outline support for import to the a new right?

    Just make sure that the formulas are in one line. If you have a multi line formula then the csv file will move in a different line.

    I have enabled Acrobat XI since June 2013. How can I install second copy to another computer?

    You can install it on another machine the same way that you install on the first machine.  If you need to download to do this, you should have a link available on your Adobe account online.  If you are unable to find such a link, you can always download the trial version from the Acrobat (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro.html) product page and use your serial number to activate to use fully.

    If there is another problem that prevents you from know how to install it, you need to explain what the problem is.

  • New layer on a mask layer causes problems

    I have a layer mask that shows/loads a flv imported inside.

    the hidden layer has an empty picture-key with the following code in it...

    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    addChild (myLoader);
    var url: URLRequest = new URLRequest ("mymovie.swf");
    myLoader.load (url);

    What happens when I add a new layer to my main flash, just above the mask layer film, would damage the film. Instead of loading in the mask, it loads above all. Why does this happen?

    When you dynamically add things on the stage, they don't have a house in the timeline panel.  In addition, place the code in a particular layer does not designate this layer containing some content could process the code.  You will need to do is dynamically mask is added to the content loaded or load content in a MovieClip (a blank) you set manually in the layer being masked... (using movieclip.addChild (myLoader)... metaphorically speaking)

  • Adjustment to the mask layer?

    Hello

    Although the passing opposite is already possible,

    I was wondering how I can apply an adjustment layer to

    a layer mask. This means that I have an image, a TI will be

    be hidden, but then I want to have a dynamic adjustment

    layer this layer mask, I can change the

    mask on the fly...

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Thank you

    No, you cannot apply an adjustment for a mask layer (the concept does not work here...).

    You can use the refine edge and masks Palette on the mask to make simple changes.

  • another audio layer...

    You can add another audio layer just below the layer of its main?  I wanted to add the sound of clicks of the keyboard as a separate sound object (so it can be manipulated for the length).  I unfortunately did not record recording keyboard clicks.

    Thank you

    Jeff

    Hi Jeff

    Can be added as a 'layer '. But all this is really, it's the audio associated with the slide itself. You can add any number of objects in the slide and each object can have audio partner. So if you want, you can insert a transparent object and assign audio to that. Then 'time' it by adjusting when the object is displayed.

    See you soon... Rick

    There are also controls, if the original layers must be used, if something is pasted.

    See the InDesign preferences.

    app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers = false; //or true, set this as you need it.

  • Copy rotobrush different video layer mask

    Hello!

    I am currently working on some work in AE title. The text moves slowly away from the camera and I must add a few splashes of blood surrounding only the text box. I followed the movement and the rotobrushed text. However the rotobrush masks only the bottom of the layer with the title. Is there anyway to get this mask on the layer with the splash of blood?

    Thank you!

    Use as a matte. May be required before dialing.

  • How a copy paste a text layer of the file one psd to another?

    Hello

    CS6

    I select the type tool, type some text, create a text layer.

    I went with this still active text layer, ctrl a, selection puts on the perimeter of the entire image, ctrl c (copy) and clicked on the psd file tab I wanted to put it in and went ctrl v (paste)

    text appeared.

    HOWEVER... This isn't text, try selecting the it, you can't!

    To the search, in the layers palette, it is not not a text layer as it was in the psd source.

    going on what?

    I copy paste on this occasion, not drag drop.

    Merlin

    Instead of copying the pixels (what does your process) instead do a right-click on the text layer - select «Duplicate layer...» "and where it says - Destination - click on the dropdown next to"Document"and the change to the file that you are trying to move the text to.

  • Copy into a new layer

    In Freehand, you can hi - lite an object and then go to the pallett layers and double click a layer to copy the object to this layer. Essentially of transfer

    one layer to another.

    Is it possible in Illustrator CS4 to do the same thing? Done freehand in a very simple way. I hope that Illustrator has a feature simular.

    Thank you

    When you select the object, a small rectangle to the right of shared layer in the palette. Just drag it to the desired layer. Or drag the object entry in the palette of layers on the desired layer (the object has not yet need to be selected for this).

  • Is it possible to hide an already masked layer

    In my site with that there is a rather long content page... I want to make this content drop down with a custom scroller. So it should be hidden with a layer mask. Already the full page is hidden by another to do animation in it... How can this problem be solved... When I try to put the two layers (text and mask) under the main layer of marked it is not below... The text written in English seen in browser also seem to be like texts that is yet to be invented...

    You can't hide a layer mask, no.

    What you can do is to put the layers you want to be a mask that is nested inside a MovieClip
