Feathering an Ellipse Masked Solid turns becoming Squared

Hello,

I am running Ae CC 2017.

I created a White Solid (2000pixels by 2000pixels, same size as comp) and apply an Ellipse Mask on it.

I scaled it down to 50% of the comp.

I feather the edges.

However, instead of a continuous radial feathering effect (looking a bit like a radial blur) the feathering is boxed in by the "bound box" of the Solid. This creates visible straight cut of lines.

How do I solve this?

Pardon if information is missing. This is my first forum post. Ever.

    welcome to the forums.

    this is normal. in this case, instead of feathering, you can achieve the same effect by using a blur effect. box blur or fast box blur will do.

    it's either that or reducing your mask. either with the expansion parameter or manually.
