Adjust the edges of a mask

To finely expand or contract all edges of a mask, use the Mask Expansion property. This property’s value represents, in pixels, how far from the original mask edge you are expanding or contracting the adjusted edge.

  1. In the Timeline panel, expand the Mask properties of the layer you want to adjust.
  2. Drag the underlined value for Mask Expansion.
    Note: To reset a mask to its default boundaries, select the mask in the Timeline panel and choose Layer > Mask > Reset Mask.
