Are there any tricks to flipping or mirroring a mask? I need to flip a complex one along the horizontal axis and have no clue how to achieve it. I've flipped layers before but the same doesn't seem to work for masks.

Appreciate any insight.

Well, I just noticed that you can move the transform box into and beyond itself to flip the mask but is there a way to get a perfect flip/mirror?

No, not really. But noone stops you from writing down the extend values of the bounding box on the numerical window (Ctrl+Alt+M)... Flip your mask and then re-enter the values. Other than that, pre-comping might do the trick as usual.
