a quick test with a layer that is not at th= e comp center... draw mask, copy, paste to brush position, and then add thi= s expression, and it should line up

Hi all,

= This has been bugging me for years so I thought I'd ask the group!

When you draw a mask on a text layer, and then copy and past= e into position keyframes (eg. in "Write On"), there is always an= offset (presumably due to it being a continuously rasterised layer).

Does anybody know if there's a way of calculating t= hat offset, and therefore write a script to translate the position keyframe= s to line up with the original mask?=C2=A0

Or does= such a script already exist?

(I know you can get around this by pre-composing, but I= 'd rather not do that).

Any insight much appre= ciated!
