Alpha Ramp
Alpha Ramp quickly creates circular, curved, or linear alpha ramps directly into the alpha channel of your
current effect. This effect instantly enhances any effect, without requiring additional matte layers within
your composite. Use Alpha Ramp to create text transitions and wipes, or to add a transparent-to-opaque
gradation to any effect.
View Mode
determines how you see the effect of Alpha Ramp with complex images (see figure below).
Normal -
is the regular mode for rendering.
Alpha -
shows the alpha channel of the layer as white, composited with the other layers in the composite.
Ramp-
shows the ramp alone as a black-to-white blend on an opaque alpha channel.
