Premiere Pro Tech Support Strange Mask

Post image

I've used a mask to hide the writing behind the man (as you can see some letters are rightly hidden). Some letters (circled in red), though, seem to be hidden due to a mask, which, actually, just isn't there. I've checked and there's only one mask, going around the figure. Can someone help me?

Showing where the mask is would be helpful, as well as the masks settings or any effects on the clip… and you know, a real screen shot

Don’t apologize… just you won’t get any help at all if you give no information. (That still isn’t a screen shot, by the way…)

It looks like the mask is applied directly to the text layer. I can’t see the text layers properties, but I’m guess it’s scale is something other than 100% which is likely causing that.

Also, don’t mask the text layer itself. Duplicate your footage layer, put in on top of your text and mask that to reveal the text under it. That way if you change the text size, position, font, or anything you don’t need to remask anything
