I am using a color mask and a shape mask to change the color of an eye (it's in profile). I want to have the color change gradually and fade out gradually. I assume I have to do something like have the opacity of the new color fade out and then in again using key frames. But how do I use key frames with a mask?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking, but you may also be able to use the opacity on your "adjustment" layer to fade it in and out.
Not Fox here, but here is a way to do this: blade the clip, one side off, the other on and apply a quick cross dissolve transition.
Color Correction (which is the effect I assume you are using), have the keyframe set up here:
So you have to Add a color correction (any one) like the Color Board, then mouse over the label bar to activate the key frame icon.
Hi fox_m. Still have a question. I have done the color board with a color mask and a shape mask. That only took a couple of hours to put in all the keyframes. So now I want to fade in the color change, so it changes from brown (in original) to blue (in color mask). I know how to add the keyframes to the color board, thanks to you, but how do I actually use them to fade the color correction in? I know how to add a key frame with a color correction not turned on and then add a keyframe somewhere down the timeline with the color correction turned on (which fades it in), but I don't know how to fade it in when I already have the color correction applying to the entire clip.
Got it. Thanks a lot!
Hi Luis. Thank you very much for your suggestion. I did just as you said and it works beautifully. I actually did a long cross dissolve and the new color comes in at a rate that is perfect.
How do I change eye color using shape and color masks and have the change come in gradually?
