Blending matte inward

[daveh71]

I have an alpha matte of a face that I want to blend inward. I'm new to Combustion and would appreciate it if anybody had any advice.

Thanks in advance

Use the Matte Controls operator (under Keying category). It will let you shrink, erode, and/or blur a matte.

load your alpha in stencil mode

1- composite control / surface / stencil layer
( change name if is a copy )

2- on the stencil layer add a color correction " level "

3- animate the black out option on the alpha channel ( panel 2 )

good luck
