Hi all, I'm using Motion 4 and I wanted to apply an Image Mask.
The idea is this:
--
One wide painting is fully lit, and then a cloud "shadow" slowly covers the painting as it moves in from left to right.
--
I have two layers: (1) is the painting fully lit. The mask would slowly mask this layer to reveal layer (2) which is the painting dimmed with a higher contrast.
I'm having trouble with the image mask itself, so I haven't even animated the mask yet. Is there a specific format that the image mask should be?
Please see the attached file for my layer setup in Motion 4. Even with the Image Mask applied, I'm not seeing any effect the painting.
