My mask shows up fine in the preview window, but it renders black. The effect I was going for was a search beam sweeping across my image, and where the beam hits the ground, my image would be revealed the way it was before I put on the CC basics.
Here's what it looks like:

The mask I have is inverted on the global settings, the background of the mask is set to "nested layers untitled" (doesn't matter if it is titled, result is the same). Where ever the mask is I can see the Nested Layers before the Discrete CC basics operator was applied, but only in the work/preview window... when I render, the mask comes up black, regardless of the format or compression used.
Anyone know a way to get the render to work??
