Today I'm showing you how to use masks to create unique reveal animations in Apple Motion. Masking in Apple Motion can be a bit tricky, but if you know the right order of operations, you can achieve stunning results!

Love the way you explain the why and the how of the various parameter controls. You're really helping me understand Motion. Thank you!

[@Nassoud60]

Amazing thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@thisismyalias]

An easier way to align the position of the mask with the line is to add a "Link" parameter behaviour to the masks x position. This way you can also employ non-linear motion which usually looks more natural. Great tutorial nonetheless :)

[@user-gn7ed1pl9m]

Thank you so much you saved me I had spent a long time and been struggling with image masks not working properly. Thank you so much!

[@discipleslim9506]

Not only are you great at motion graphics, but you are also an amazing teacher!

[@Bobbylopezcreative]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you.

Thank you!

Спасибо за видео. Мотивируешь меня не бросать заниматься монтажом.

[@mtamech535]

Thanks again Jenn! You've simplified it and explained it well!

[@dancasas-murray]

Hey Jenn! I took your course, got inspired, and thought I'd try out a little mask reveal action. I kept getting wrong - the mask was moving with the shape, and I was all, 'dam I've seen her do this before...' So I came back to reference this vid and sure enough, I didn't apply it to the group. Thank you!

[@techoperatives2232]

Love the videos. Keep them coming!

[@weeklyfascination]

The moving mask is sooooo cool. Can't wait to try it. As always, love the instructional videos.

[@JohnKuehne_SF]

So many times I struggled with masks and got there through trial and error. You really made it make sense to me finally. Can't wait for your full Motion course to be ready.

[@elg3eco]

THX - I can learn so much from you

[@MamadSatan]

Love your tuturials. I have to get the hang of keyframes it's confusing at first.

[@CesarGamino]

Every step made perfect sense to me. EXCELLENT!

[@andrefouche8725]

Wonderful Jenn, thanks so much for sharing. Easy to follow! Just love your tutorials.

[@alikathiphopoprah5507]

Great work n thank u!

[@eagleonone]

This may be a silly question BUT, do you start this project as a title, or a generator or a motion project? Otherwise all steps nicely explained.

[@ulisserigamonti3172]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's possible to apply a mask only on a single effect such as color or any other effect? I can't find the solution. thank you :)

[@boomerhiker]

Excellent! Useful. And easy to follow.

[@JennJagerPro]

Great! I always worry its hard to follow along when I'm jumping between keyframes :/

[@funkyzarathoustra9300]

hello Jen, on your first tutorial when I draw my first mask on my logo, I got a black mask visible hiding my logo and not your invisible grey mask ? have you an idea of my mistake ? thanks for your tutorials they are very clear, like these of Ripple Training (which drive me to yours).

[@Panagiotis-Skordilis]

excellent as always

[@JennJagerPro]

ευχαριστώ

[@Panagiotis-Skordilis]

@@JennJagerPro wow you speak Greek !!

[@michaelneal900]

can you explain how groups work?

[@siloamunitedchurch8301]

Hi Jenn, I'm encountering some problems with mask speed and the moving line in the 2nd tutorial. The mask begins the reveal behind the line and by the end it is ahead of the line thus revealing letters before the line reaches them. I'm wondering what is it that I'm not doing correctly? Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.Wib

[@JennJager]

Hi, you probably have the keyframes at different “motion” settings, so you’re getting drift. Open the keyframe editor, and right click the keyframes on both your masks and text and make sure they’re all set to either ‘ease in’, ‘ease out’, ‘ease both’ or under interpolation ‘linear’. I think I go over this in the keyframe tutorial linked in the description if you need more detail.

[@siloamunitedchurch8301]

@@JennJager Thanks, Jenn - I did get everything working.

[@EndlessTravels]

Im not cool at all, just a boring Jewish guy with no clue on this. mess...BUT imma stick around till the end :)

[@chrisstocker]

Ok got stuck on how to change the blue. I'm a veteran After Effects guy. Have to stop the video, try to work out this fuzzy video. So pissed off before I even start.

[@chrisstocker]

Ok I give up. Too fast. Just Babbling. Just a constant gush.

[@JennJagerPro]

Chris, I’m sorry you feel that way. It sounds like you could benefit from a more basic lesson in Apple Motion. I’m definitely not just “babbling” here.

[@eagleonone]

Perhaps you should offer a full refund for you FREE Video lesson. P.S. My keyboard has a space bar I can use to stop the video when I need more time to process a step.@@JennJagerPro
