Null Object / Null Layer

[Dennis Leppell]

Nope, but a new color solid + mask shape, mask feather, and maybe opacity and/or composite mode should get the job done

You can use the “slug” for this. It’s a generator that will place a black clip in your timeline.

Darn… why can’t FCP and AE be one program?

Thanks for the speedy reply.

[Dustin Parsons] “Is there any way to create a null object (like After Effects’ Null Objects) that I could add a vignette to?
“

A vignette applied to a null would be just as invisible as the null.

Effects > Video Filters > Stylize > Vignette

Or add an oval shape generator under an export the whole program and track matte the top layer.

I just did this. I nested a clip and applied a filter to the nested clip. Worked great. In my case I had a SD clip in an HD sequence. I wanted the filter (SugarFX HUD) rendered in HD not SD. I would expect this to work with a vignette as well.

(I reserve the right to be wrong)
