Three Ways of Masking Layers in After Effects (AE CC 2018)

Thank you sir!

with the alpha matte thing, what do you do when your shape layer has multiple shape in it. because the alpha matte is only taking one of the shape into account and now the whole layer. It's driving me insane.

Thank you mate. Appreciate :)

I like how simple and quick this video was but ive been trying to do a simple mask for three days now and its just not working

you won't think so, but trust me, you're a fucking moron

Thank you!

Hello! Can I make a mask for a 3D shape or solid layer? I try to do that, but the holes that the masks make then are not represented in the 3D view (or dissapear when I extrude it). What is wrong with this process? Is there a solution for this?

Its 2022 but I had 2018 version cz of my potato pc
I couldn't find any video old enough so thank you for existing

or you can use the blending mode stencil alpha to mask the underlying layers
