The easiest way to do this in Premiere Pro is to nest the cropped sequence in another sequence. This will force Premiere Pro to use the new alpha channel created by the crop. (This assumes you have Premiere Pro.) But, to be honest-- even then, the edge feather is only a so-so effect.
I think the best thing to do is to create an image matte, like in photoshop, with heavily feathered edges. Of course, this assumes you know photoshop and understand matte creation. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages.

I would have thought that throwing an Edge Feather filter would fix this. However this filter only feathers the outside edges of the whole clip, not the cropped edges that I created. Does anybody know if there is a way to feather my cropped edges? Thanks! --------------------------------- New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big.
