Feathered black edge on video?

[Tsmall88]

Hello all,

I'm looking for a way of making movie edges soft - feathered to black - so the edges of the projection are less obvious.

Found this old entry in the Forum archives - http://forum.troikatronix.com/forum/Isadora_C2/General_F4/Isadora_on_Tour,_Can_I..._P1860/.

However, when I try to import a .TIFF file into Isadora (current version), it won't accept the format.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

Hallo.

I think mac is adding .tiff to the file when downloading. Just delete this addition. The file should read edge-feather-mask.tif.

If you making the mask yourself try saving as PNG. This works better for me.

Many thanks, worked perfectly!

If you are using Isadora Core Video there are more flexible and elegant ways to do this using Quartz Composer.
