Sorry to repeat what is likely a common easy question. 

I have two layers of video in my comp.  want to mask out a small section and reveal the area beneath.  however, when i draw and apply the mask, it is WHITE within the mask area, not transparent.  this must be something obvious and basic i'm missing but i can't seem to figure it out.  thanks for your help!
