I'm not sure AE has a tool f= or this.

I've copied the Mask path and pasted it to an Adobe= Illustrator document, used the Reflect Tool in AI, then copied and pasted = that result back to another Mask path on the same layer.

I've also made a duplicate of the current layer with the mas= k, flopped the duplicate (set the Y scale value to =96100), then set that a= s the Track Matte layer of a duplicate of the original layer.
