Hi there

 

 

 

I have been testign a few ways to animate a feathered mask. So far my preferred option is a straightforward dancing dissolve blend mode — but I can figure out how I might go about slowing this down?!


Any thoughts much appreciated!

thanks... 🙂

    Hi, If the mask is static the good idea might be to use the precompose  + enabling time remapping of composition using hold keyframes.

      Dancing dissolve is a random effect based on the frame rate of the comp. The only way you can slow it down is to slow down the frame rate of the comp, but this won't create a smooth movement, the particles will snap to their new location. You can stop the movement by pre-composing the layer and freezing a frame or slow it down by pre-composing the layer, setting the new comp frame rate to something like 4 fps, and then selecting Preserve Frame Rate when nested or in the render cue in the Advanced tab of Comp settings.
