#Adobe Premiere Pro Garbage Matte After Effects upgrade

I know I'm late to the show.but, really?!? It's this hard to do a feathered garbage matte? I think I'll NOT upgrade OSX and keep using FCP 7.WOW, I must just be spoiled with so many years of ease of use. SO PLEASE GO AND MAKE THIS REQUEST!:DI mean c'mon, if it works on 'roughen edges'. (Edge Feather has already been taken'I call this a temporary solution because I'm pretty sure Adobe will fix this ONLY IF there is enough requests on the wishlist, that's how they work. Here's a temporary workaround (though not perfect) to do a quick feathering on most crops, mattes, and alphas:Apply your crop or garbage matteApply the 'roughen edges' effectSet the Border to desired width of the featherSet the Edge sharpness to 0 to give it the feathery softness.Set the Fractal influence to 0.Save this preset as Feather Edges.

However, I'm cutting a 30 minute long video shot behind a white back ground and need to cut out the edge of the shot that isn't static.Д«eing able to add a feather to the mask will solve my problem real quick.

Set the matte to video track 2, and adjust the fast blur to your liking in the track 2 fast-blur effect.See, so super simple. However, one way I can think of: apply a fast blur to the garbage-matted footage, duplicate the footage and place it directly above in video track 2, remove all effects from the footage in track 1 and instead add a track-matte-key effect found in the keying folder.
