Lol, not sure why, but I just tried it a= gain and it totally worked! Since my layer is auto orienting towards camera= there's a slight shift, but totally better to deal with than redoing o= r adding new layers. Thanks Phil.

Alex: Good to know about those scripts. I miss a lot of= the new releases on AEScripts, and I'm a contributor. :)
Chris: I was thinking the same thing, thankfully Phil's sol= ution saved me the extra work. Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately the Pan B= ehind tool moves all masks on the layer with the layer.

The copy paste method did the same, it was offset when pasted onto a c= orrectly sized solid.

I was trying to find a plugi= n that used mask info to set the matte that way, but they seem to use the c= hannels only, not the mask paths. I had tried Set Matte. :(

You should be able to slip the solid to the left.

I can't say it was 10.7.4, but my file corruption iss= ues that I've been posting about on the IMUG forum have been on a 10.7.= 4 computer. I haven't seen this happen on a 10.7.3 machine yet...

I've removed some 3rd party QuickTime plugins from the Library/Quic= kTime folder (DIVX and Google Camera Adabpter) and have had better stabilit= y... I think Eric mentioned he did something similar, too.

I'll get it figured out and update.

Anybody else see anything weird with 10.7.4?
