I want to animate an image into a mask that I've created. Unfortunately the mask always moves along with the layer than I'm animating.
How can I lock the mask in place so it doesn't move when I'm animating the layers position?
Thanks for your help.

make a precompisition of the aniamtion and than mask it..or use an adjustment layer.
wich Æ are you running?

I'm running 5.5
I think you hit the bulleseye with that precompostion idea... I was thinking something along those lines... I just couldn't wrap my brain around it.
How would you use an adjustment layer?

well in 6.5 you can also mask in the adjustment layer.so it ill stay in place.though i would go with the precomp...thats more logical..cause the adjustment layer idea will also ave effect on other layers
