How to Invert a Mask in After Effects
Why Inverting a Mask is Useful
Masks in After Effects allow you to hide or reveal parts of a layer. Sometimes, you may need to reverse a mask to make the masked area transparent and the rest visible. This is useful for compositing, effects, and advanced animations. In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily invert a mask and adjust its settings for the best results.
Step 1: Create a Mask
First, select the layer where you want to create a mask. Use the Pen Tool (G) or Shape Tools (Q) to draw the mask directly on the layer in the Composition panel. Adjust the shape as needed.
