  • Prevent mask from bleeding through

    i want to show a movie inside a text,
    i thought the best way to do so is by turning the text into a mask, and masking the movie with the text, setting the mask to add and voila a movie in a textshape… however the mask is bleeding through, which could be fixed with a bit of blur i guess but i was wondering if there’s a way to make the mask cut the clip at exactly the mask borders, so no bleeding through at all.. making the movie the exact same size as the text.

    i can imagine this all sounds a bit confusing so i’ve added an image of what i mean by bleeding through, top part showing the mask lines and the movie going a couple pixels through it, and bottom part showing that these few pixels are quite a big deal because it makes the text look awfull
