I want to animate the mask (half circle) in image editor - by rotating the mask around the cursor placed in the center, but the final animation looks strange.

enter image description here

Is this one of the limitations of the mask keyframe or is there anything that I can do better to create a simple rotation?

(I tried to add the last anchor point of a previous circle in a hope that it will be calculated as a circle shape, but it gave the same result.)

Thank you

    $\begingroup$ What are you looking to use the mask for? It would be possible to rotate the mask at the compositing stage depending on your intentions. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The reason the rotation looks odd is because each vertex is moving to it's next keyframe in a straight line. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Ray Mairlot: improve my workflow :) I will use it in VSE, I can rotate mask strip there, I just wanted to know if I missed something or it works like that. $\endgroup$

As pointed out by @RayMairlot you can rotate the mask in the compositor by addong a rotate node and animating its values:
