How to edit masks

You can take these basic shapes and make other more complex shapes. You can also change the color of the mask by clicking on the color box in the mask. After Effects also has other parameters that you can work with. Clicking on the mask gives you other parameters that can be edited. You can edit this mask by adjusting the feathering parameter. By adjusting the Feathering amount that means the outside of the mask will be feathered. Of course the feathering is key framable. You can Expand the mask as well. The expansion can also go the opposite direction. So you'll actually be eating into the mask in the negative direction. I'd like for you to experiment with all these mask editing parameters.
