Masks
Use any layer as a mask to clip the layers above it, Sketch-style.
A mask clips the layers above it in the same group, up to the next mask. It works like Use as Mask in Sketch: the mask's outline decides what's visible, and the mask itself can move, scale and fade.
- Put the mask shape below the layers you want to clip, in the same group.
- Select it and click the mask button in the inspector's Layer row (Use as Mask), or right-click its lane in the timeline → Use as Mask.
- The layers above it are now clipped to its shape.
Choose Release Mask (same places) to turn it back into a normal layer. Groups can't be masks.

Reveals and wipes
- Set the mask's opacity to 0 to hide it: it keeps clipping.
- Animate the mask's position for a wipe, or its scale for an iris reveal.
- A vector mask clips to its real outline; rectangles, text and images clip to their box.
