Fading Problems when masking layers exist
« on: December 27, 2019, 11:53:49 PM »
Hi,  I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just not supported, but when a fade transition in or out is configured on an effect set to "2 is Unmask", the fade transition is not honored.  On render, the effect with "2 is Unmask" is all on or all off.

Attached is a sample.  It includes the effect layering I'm trying to accomplish, the red Entire Display effect should fade into the color of the tree, then out.  Fade is no honored.  The sample also shows a similar scenario within the prop with the green on effect.

Is there a way to enable fading in these examples?

Thanks,
--Charlie

Its happening that way because an Unmask uses the unmask effect to determine the brightness it only grabs the hue and saturation from the effect below it.  Just put the fade on the unmask effect on top.
