How to mask only part of timeline?

I can put my main video on track 2 and create a mask or composite with track 1. But say I only want the mask to "cover" track 2 for a short period, then have track 2 continue on unmasked. When i do this, at the point after track one mask ends, then the video on track two cannot be seen, it just shows black. What am I doing wrong?
