Hi guys. I have a problem that so anoying with opacity mask in Premiere Pro.
When i create a mask, it alway feather the right side of layer, even mask lines are not there. 

I'm using Premiere Pro ver 24.5 and it happen with lower version too. 
I was try not to check " Composite in linear color " in sequence setting but it's still not fix the problem. 

But the left egde is working good. 

Can you guys find out what happen? PLs help me, thank you so much.

I think that we are not really understand the problem. 

Here the case: I have 3 layer and i want to cut out the bottom of the 3rd layer with a smooth feather. So i just draw a mask and make a nice feather right? 

But here's the problem, when i make a mask it's always got feather on the right side of the layer, all i want if just cut and feather the bottom of the layer and keep left, right are still not cut out. So how can i do that in this case? 


Thanks for clarifying, Madyson. You are quite right - this appears to be a bug with the Opacity mask. I was able to recreate it on my end.

I recommend either of these two workarounds:

1. Crop Effect
    - Add the Crop effect to your layer.
    - Adjust the bottom crop.
    - Adjust the Edge Feather.

2. Alpha Adjust
    - Add the Alpha Adjust effect to your layer.
    - Tick Inverted and Invert Alpha.
    - Add a mask to this effect and adjust the Mask Feather.

Cheers,
Paul

Make sure your OS window scaling is 100% or at the recommended scaling.

Hi Madyson,

Can you share a screenshot of your timeline and Effect Controls panel? This will help us better understand the issue you're experiencing with the mask always feathering on the right.
