hi, I have some problems with dragging masks. I follow the tutorial of kirupa, it runs well with a text and text-clip. However when I use a picture it doesn’t run I don’t know where is it wrong.  
Can you help me, please?  
thanks.

it should work the same way just make sure that the mask layer has the porperties of mask and the image layer is below the mask layer with the properties of masked.

I have all the properties and it doesn’t run. I don’t know where is the mistake. ☹
