Q: Lock mask position in FCPX?
I have an image that I want to move from right to left (I'm trying to simulate someone swiping an image on their phone). But I need that to be masked so that when the image is moved it doesnt just move from one place on the screen to the next (it needs to be confined within a mask). When I apply a mask in FCPX the mask moves with the image. I need to be able to stop that. Is there any way to do that? It seems like the most simple thing in the world but I can't see how it can be done. And yes I have tried keyframing the mask but because its moving with the image, it gets dragged all over the place. If Motion is necessary then how would I do it in Motion?
Thanks

You don't need Motion.
Create the clip animate from right to center - stop - center to left. Create a Compound clip of it and add the Mask to the compound clip.
