Is it possible to have a mask on a layer affects layers underneath? AECS6

I'm animating a stick figure (because I am a great artist! ) In any case the head consists of a specified hollow circle and I want to have the stick man lift his arm, and have head block the arm past behind him (instead of showing the arm through his head) is - it possible? If so, how can I achieve this?

Thank you all!

The mask you need to an alpha channel. If you have just drawn for the head shape layer then you do not have an alpha anywhere, but at the time.

You will need to complete the form and duplicate and use the double as a track matte for the layer of arms or you will need to define a mask on the layer of shape of arms is exactly the same size and shape of the head.

If you need the shape of the head do not full you can disable the padding of the head and continue to use the track matte.

If you can use the shape of the head with a fill so you can just stack the layers in the correct order and the hand will be blocked by the shape of the head.

There are so many ways to do this kind of thing that a screenshot would be very useful.

Here is a configuration with a matte and a hollow circle for the head. I chose the hand you see the paths. Notice how is the race behind the head disappears.
