Mask proprieties control over time (keyframe/OSC)
Hello,
I work on a show where I need to make my mask change as time goes, I got some pictures that need to be hidden or reveal at different timing.
As example there is a picture with a mom and her baby, a first we see both characters, and then we need to see only the baby.
My first guess was to use a mask to hide everything around the baby, and play with the opacity of the mask to make my effect. I start with the opacity of the mask at 0% and then go up to 100%.
But the problem is that I didn't found a way to bind this parameter to a keyframe or an OSC or MIDI message, so I can't automate it. I didn't found anything about mask in the OSC documentation and the parameter is not highlighted in the interaction menu.
Do you know a way yo do that ?
Thank you very much, your software is really cool to use :)
have a nice day

Hello @Pab,
This is not possible to animate the mask's properties via keyframes.
But you could use a matte "blending mode" to get a similar result. See this project :

Hello @Millumin ,
Thank you for the quick answer,
I tried with the matte blending mode but I couldn't get the transition that I wanted between my two pictures,
I joined you a project with the result that I wanted, I achieved it with a timeline, but there may be a simpler way to do it with matte blending mode.
Is this specific effect doable with matte blending mode ?
Thank you in advance
