Masking/alpha vectors

Post by eric1223 »

Hi, I'm new to Anime studio. I'm don't understand how masking /alpha vectors work with anime studio. In a program that I still use, what you did was add a layer, change it to alpha, and everything under it would be invisible too. I need this effect so that I could make the illusion of someone digging in their pocket, something being punctured, without switching layers.

thanks!
