    Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. I did not know about hovering in between the layers, holding the Alt key would make an automatic mask for the video. Been scratching my head over this. The text animation look awesome, however, how would you do a text zoom out? Starting off with showing the entire video and the text (with the video masked) zooms out, eventually transitioning into a white screen with fitted text (with video playing in the text).

    Great tips!
    I was also wondering if it is possible to use a video clip as the layer mask itself. i.e. Having a picture of a flower with a moving layer mask of clouds, so that you could only see the flower through the clouds as they passed.
    Is this possible? Is there some other way to achieve this effect?
    Thanks
