    I’m sure there’s an easy answer to this, but I can’t seem to find it:

    I’ve got a vertical black line (a solid with a rectangular mask, but I am having the same issue with a Shape) that I want to feather, bend with the puppet tool, and play effects inside of (particle effects)… I’m running into two issues: when I feather the line and then bend it outwards with puppet (outside of the mask), there is a very thin black line outlining the mask path… it doesn’t occur when the mask is not feathered. How can I get rid of this? Also, when I try to apply a particle effect within the mask, it plays over the entire solid, rather than what is cut out in the mask– same goes when using a shape, the particles play over the entire screen. Much thanks in advance!
