  • Keep Aspect:

  • Center X and Y: Defines the X and Y position of the center of the mask.

  • Gradient Width: Sets the size of the gradient.

  • Invert: Inverts the mask.

  • Mirror Gradient: Mirrors the mask on both axis.

  • Blank: Offsets the area that should not be affected by the mask.

  • Tracking: Allows the progress to be controlled by a tracked Container to build the progress animation easier. Drag a Container to the drop zone.
