This article first appeared in MotionArray.com. This is an excerpt.
There are two ways to apply the same mask to more than one clip: an adjustment layer or copying and pasting a mask.
Adjustment layers are great for those times when you need to affect lots of clips. But, copy and paste is faster when you are only working with a few clips.
To copy a mask:
- Select the clip with the mask you want to copy
- Go to the Effects Control panel and select the mask.
- Choose Edit > Copy
- Select the clip in the timeline where you want to paste the mask.
- Choose Edit > Paste.
Done.
