1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:00,510
All right.

2
00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:00,990
Welcome back.

3
00:00:01,050 --> 00:00:04,530
So in this lecture, we'll talk about how to flatten all masks.

4
00:00:04,650 --> 00:00:12,600
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a new layer in our scripts, one duppy SD, and I'm going

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,220
to click on this little icon here that says add layer mask.

6
00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:20,550
And then let's make another layer and do the same thing.

7
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:25,410
And then we're going to one more of those two so I can give you a visual aid of what what's gonna be

8
00:00:25,410 --> 00:00:27,660
going on here when I do this script.

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,790
So I'm going to go to file.

10
00:00:30,430 --> 00:00:33,600
We're going to have scripts and we're in click on Flatten All Masks.

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,670
So watch how the I want you to watch this area right here.

12
00:00:38,910 --> 00:00:39,990
After we click this.

13
00:00:41,860 --> 00:00:42,060
OK.

14
00:00:42,430 --> 00:00:45,640
So you see what happened to all the little links?

15
00:00:45,790 --> 00:00:47,350
The chains went away.

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:54,580
And so if you were to mask this, which we didn't do, but if you did, that would show up here.

17
00:00:54,670 --> 00:00:58,240
And the little links will go away because you won't be able to edit this.

18
00:00:58,270 --> 00:00:59,500
Now, if I had control ze.

19
00:01:01,710 --> 00:01:04,300
A double click this we can enter and select the mask.

20
00:01:04,750 --> 00:01:09,700
So once you flatten that, you don't have that ability to edit the mask.

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,540
So let's do that again, file scripts and then.

22
00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:14,500
No masks.

23
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:19,090
So basically, it just takes away the ability to edit your mask.

24
00:01:19,930 --> 00:01:21,250
So let's save it.

25
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:28,470
And now we have a three layer masks and we have one layer with our effects.

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,290
So it's similar to what I was talking about in the previous lecture when we flatten all the layer effects.

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:40,000
Once you flatten it, there's no going back to edit once you flattened it.

28
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:40,540
OK.

29
00:01:41,530 --> 00:01:44,560
That's why I recommend having two files for that.

30
00:01:44,650 --> 00:01:47,620
Have a flattened PTSD and then a regular PTSD.

31
00:01:48,070 --> 00:01:50,980
That way, if you need to edit it, you don't have to redo everything.

32
00:01:51,070 --> 00:01:56,800
Imagine doing masks, multiple masks, layer masks, and then you're like, oh, wait, I forgot to

33
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:03,730
edit this or I want to change the mask somewhere else and I can't because I flat in the mask.

34
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:06,400
So just something to think about.

35
00:02:06,820 --> 00:02:08,500
Thanks for watching us in the next lecture.
