I'm pretty new to After Effects...
Any tips on how I can transform a video clip that is in a mask without transforming the mask also?I want to resize the video clip within the mask.
Thanks.

might just have to set the mask twice if u are only resizing the video once?
never tried to do something like that though, just a guess.

rather than using a mask on the clip, put the mask shape on a separate layer. call it "mask".
then on your video layer, under the Track Matte dropdown, choose Alpha Matte "mask"
then you can transform your video withoutt affecting your mask.

the bast way is, taking a -still- render, and make a path around it in illustrator. and choosing this path and paste it in to the comp in AE. my tip is trying to keep anchor points few so its easier to keep under control.
