    @PowerStruggleTV I am just going to guess he pressed unlock above the tab. Never used Adobe effects in my life, don't even own it, but like learning new stuff.

    So is it possible to use layer masks? (Like in Photoshop)

  22. Solomon Sheffield Avatar

    for the record, those "nodes/nubs" are called anchor points, and the lines extending off of each anchor point is called a bezier curve.

    Very well explained, love your video!

    Is it possible to use a (for example) black and white layer whereby i key out the white areas. Then use this layer to mask the original footage in this way: where the black areas were it leaves the footage, where the (masked) white were it will be cut so it will be transparent and i can look through to a third layer (bottom layer). In one word the black-white layer will define the mask shape but it can't be seen at the render.
    Thank You

    @HappyBunny537 Press Q, and the Rectangle tool will turn into a different shape. Keep pressing Q till you get to the Ellipse tool
