Next, go to the Timeline panel. You can see your mask listed. Next, select a shape tool from the Tools panel, such as the Rectangle tool, and drag to draw the shape on your composition, as shown below. To draw a mask, select the layer for which you want to add a mask. Note that if you do not select the layer, it will add a shape instead of a mask. ![]() The masked part of the layer will be the only part of the layer that shows. Using our composition below as an example once again, we want to create a mask for the layer that is showing. ![]() Use a mask to create a reflection and a vignette ![]() Not only do masks allow you to decide what can be seen or not seen in a layer, they also allow you to add effects to just a part of a layer while leaving other parts intact. Masks will become an integral part of working in After Effects for anyone who uses the program on a regular basis.
