Iris in effect

I’d apply the “Iris” filter, but that’s just me.

That’d be my guess too.

Thank you guys. Wow, I wasn’t thinking of it as a transition, so never looked in the transition folder. The transition Iris in works really well, however, I wish to Iris in (not fully to black), hold the Iris’d in image on a character for a line or two, possibly adjust the Iris at some points (creating a path), then Iris out agin (never fully Irising in to black).

Any more thoughts.

Cheers,
Dale

for this kind of control try placing an oval shape from the generators menu on V2 over your clip. then apply the “muliply” composite mode and then key frame the size and softness sliders in the oval controls tab to creat the animation you are after.
