Page peel transition

Hi guys,

I have added some static images to a static background, depicting a notebook. I'm using the page peel transition to create the obvious effect.

To make the images blend a little better into the background, I used a slight bit of feathering with the 'Soft Edges' filter. The problem is that now as soon as the transition starts, an ugly border appears around the images just where I feathered. Obviously, this ruins the effect.

Any ideas how I can make this work?

Thanks much,
Stefan

does it look like this AFTER a render?
probably, but i thought id ask to be sure.

you possibly could do the same job as the Soft Edges filter by going into the motion settings of the images and dialing in a touch of edge feather in the "Crop" section.
try that instead of the filter, see if you get the border,


cheers,
