distorting the location line of a gradient
Hello.
I have a gradient, applied as an image mask, that I’m using to change the opacity of ONE side of a shape over time.
It works – but as the bezier is a curve, I wanted to distort the ‘location’ (the name Motion uses to describe of the central point of the gradient) to fit the shape much better.I wandered if anyone could help me do this, or think of another way to achieve the effect?
Thanks DanMac pro, motion 5, Elcaptian.

You could try using a Bulge to add some curvature the the gradient. Alternatively you could use a radial gradient but it would be less successful for what I think you want.

Here’s a much better idea:
Create two color solids one for each side of your gradient.
Create a curved mask for the upper layer.
Add a directional blur to the mask along the axis of the gradient and increase as required.
Very controllable.

Thank you! I just tried it now, at the very end of the project and it worked really well. :o)
Took me a while to work out exactly whet you meant, but I got it.????
