  Creating a gradation with opacity in color in a MASK

  Posted by Richard Burns on June 24, 2020 at 4:07 pm

  This is driving me crazy. I have to get out the cameraman in the reflection of the glasses. All I need is the top of the glasses to be dark opaque maroon and the bottom of the glasses to be light marron but with opacity. The way a tinted gradation sunglasses would look.

  I tracked out both glasses with a mask which took 3 hrs. The subject is moving around very fast. The camera is jump in and out.

  I added n applied the gradation ramp but no options for adjusting got opacity of the color on the bottom ramp???

  It works but it doesn’t look natural..

  Thank you. I’ll try. Just thinking. Can I turn the matte in a solid shape? I know I can apply a gradient ramp with opacity with solids.
