Picture controlled wipe effect
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to make a custom wipe using the gray-scale values of a picture to control the wipe.
Example: In Photoshop, I created a gray-scale image (a word in black that fuzzes through gray to white at the edges and corners of the picture). I then applied a luma key to the video (in V2) that I wanted to key over. I am having problems trying to get the luma key to use the picture as its wipe controller.
I feel that there has to be a way to do it but everything I have tried doesn’t work.

Specifically, I put the luma key on the video in V2. Then, stepping into that effect, I put the grayscale image into the layer below.
Then I applied the BCC Make Alpha effect to the grayscale image and set the output to a gel.
I thought that the resulting crisp image would make it easier for the luma key to work. (The gel output sends out a black and white image with a gray haze only where the change was occuring. This black and white image changed over time.)
It kinda worked but during the duration of the effect, there was either a black or white

Ok, I got it to work but it seems very clumsy. I had to use 3 video tracks:
V3-foreground video
V2-grayscale image to control the key
V1-background videoOn V3 I put the
