Lock or unlock masks
Locking a mask prevents you from selecting it in the Timeline, Composition, and Layer panels or setting it as a target in the Layer panel. Use this feature to avoid unwanted changes to the mask.
- In the Timeline panel, expand the Masks property group.
- In the A/V Features column, click the box underneath
the Lock icon
next to
the mask you want to lock or unlock. A mask is locked and cannot
be selected when its Lock switch is selected—i.e., when the Lock
icon appears in the box.
Note: To unlock multiple masks at one time, select one or
more layers and choose Layer > Mask > Unlock
All Masks.
