I've on deadline crunch and butting my head against the wall. This seems like
it should be simple. Doc is centered on screen talking away and he refers to
product - I want to cut to a shot of him moved over taking up the right two
thirds of the screen - so far so good; on the left third of the screen I want
a blue background gradient going from near black at bottom to deep blue at
top - so far so good (over this I'm going to bring up relevant product info
as he discusses it - so far so good); so, here's my question - how do I do a
soft transition between my right background edge and the live video of Doc? I
found the 'Sony Border' effect, but that does all sides of the gradient - I
just want to soften the edge between the gradient and the video...
