Overlay Question fcpx
I’m trying to figure out how to soften the line between a clip I’ve laid over another clip.
Here’s a screenshot of what I’m talking about: https://i.imgur.com/DuGsM.jpg
What I want to do is get rid of the solid line down the middle and have the overlaid clip sort of fade or blur off so that it fades into the video underneath it. Hopefully that all makes sense.
Any help would be appreciated!

Here’s how I’d approach it:
1) Duplicate the clip of the woman and stack a copy on top.
2) Put the clip of the man on top of both of them. Now you should have a stack of 3 clips.
3) Crop the clip of the man using the “crop & feather” effect instead of the normal crop in the clip properties. Adjust the “width” and the “x position” until you have it where you like it. Lower the feather to get rid of the hard edge
4) Do the same thing for the second shot of the woman (not the bottom clip, the middle clip)
5) For the very bottom clip adjust its color or opacity to soften it.
So the idea is using the “Crop and Feather” effect you can get rid of the hard edge, and by having 2 copies of the clip of the woman you can adjust the colors of the left and right separately. Having a feather on the woman’s clip will allow you to blend the 2 clips if you have different color effects for both.
Hope this helps!
