3. On our new layer draw a circle .... it doesn't matter what colour it is because we wont be able to see it any way. When your happy with the size of the circle select it and press F8 to CONVERT it to a movie clip call it any thing you want.. But because this is a masking tutorial we'll call it MASK

    4. Now we need to create some KEY FRAMES. To do this, go about 20 key frames along your TIMELINE and right click both lines and select insert key frame

    5. Now we need to select the top layer still on our timeline and we need to right click it and select CREATE MOTION TWEEN go to the last frame on this layer and resize your circle so its a bit larger and move it to a corner

    6. Now right click the top layer on our timline and select MASK.

    Enjoyed the tutorial. I tried to add a motion guide to the mask but could not get it to work. Any ideas?

    PR :)
