December 6, 2006 at 2:58 pmWhy don’t masks look good enough? I would think it would work very well, if you made a rectangular mask a little smaller than your banner and then just feathered the edges a little bit… no?
Thanks,

December 6, 2006 at 7:02 pmTwo options.
Place the image in a comp, double click the mask tool. Twirl out the mask settings and set the Mask Expansion to negative.
OR
Use Simple Choker in Effects > Matte.
Hope it works!
