Feather Edges
If I have an Image, which I shrink, to fit it as a composited TV onto a TV screen of another footage, how can I feather the edges of that shrunk image?
Is there a certain FX for it? I use AE CS4. Thanx for any suggestion!Sascha

Apply a mask to it. (If you double-click the mask tool in the toolbar, it makes a mask on the outside of your footage.) Use a negative value in the mask expansion setting for the mask. Feather the mask. More info here.

Thanx, that is what I did now. I just wondered if there was a faster way to it, e.g. dropping an effect, that is just feather/bluring the edging of a clip. But I guess, that does not exist?

If you need to do this sort of thing a lot, you could copy and paste the mask from one layer to another.
Or you could set up an animation preset that does it.– The Great Szalam

Thanx! That sounds good. Copy&Paste – no problem. Setting up an Animation Preset – not sure how to do that.
Could you enlighten me?Sascha
