  gradient question…

  Posted by Betty Boop2 on February 26, 2006 at 11:08 pm

  I know that this is basic as can be, in Photoshop to make a gradient you just use the gradient tool or apply a layer mask and use the gradient on that.

  But how do I do this simple task in After Effects. I know I’m missing something simple.

  -Thanks.

  Use the Ramp effect in AE. Since AE isn’t really a paint program, most everything is done through effects.

  You can also just make a gradient in Photoshop and import the file into AE. That works if you don’t need to animate the parameters.

  mask out a single white layer, revealing to the black background, and adjust the feather as to the desired gradient.
