Aloha Sannyasin,

I have this "concept" and I'm not really sure it can be implemented
in Rev... at least I haven't found a way:

1) Establish a border that is like a picture frame, that is feathered
on the outer edges... and the inside is transparent....

2) use this as a windowshape

3) next we want to place an image inside this "frame" such that the
frame serves as a mask to the second image which is underneath...
then we would want the image underneath to be set to move across very
slowly... but only appear on the inside of the frame.

I believe you have two mutually exclusive objectives:

1. You want an irregular window shape, and
2. You want something to scroll an image under a frame.

Since the window shape must be (AFAIK) under the scrolling image, there is no way to mask the image with the window shape.

If you simply want to scroll a masked image --or move it in any direction, for that matter-- in a rectangular window, I have a sample stack I could send you that does that. One could probably create a mask image with a transparent center to serve as an irregular "frame" and use the same technique; but the boundaries of the "frame" must extend completely to the boundaries of the window

So:

        Scrolling image inside a frame with irregular-shaped interior, si;
        scrolling image inside a frame with irregular-shaped exterior, no!
