How to mask while using zoom?

For what I'm doing, I need to be able to zoom in while masking, but it won't let me. If I zoom in, it stops the mask and won't allow me to continue it. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Once you change tools in Motion, it breaks what you were doing with shapes and masks, etc.


While you have a mask tool (or shape, etc) selected, you can use command-space - mouse drag (left smaller, right larger) to zoom out/in. You can hold down the spacebar to grab and move the canvas around. Releasing the keys will return you back to the tool you were using.
