SpeedGrade Masks in Oct Update

Question

I'm relatively new to SpeedGrade so I'm not sure if this isn't working or I'm not remembering correctly. Say there is one existing Primary layer. Create a mask. Click +P to generate a new Primary. The mask attaches itself to the pre-existing Primary and there is no mask on the new layer. I thought when you create a new Primary it attaches itself to that layer. Also, as long as the mask was present you could create a new layer to duplicate the mask to that new Primary/Secondary. This way it was easy to have one for working inside the mask and the other outside the mask. Am I missing something or did some functionality change/break?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,
Now SpeedGrade supports multiple masks per clip. You can create new masks in different primaries or secondaries in the same layer stack.
If you want to use an existing mask to create an outside for example, just place your new primary or secondary on top of the layer with the mask, and click the new function called "Link Current Layer", is the button with the arrow pointing down. Now those two layer will share the same mask.
You can linked as many layers as you need.
Hope it helps,
Fran
