Creating a soft edge around clip?

[GrassValley_SL]

Think you need to watch the tutorials and check the manual. Get the EDIUS way.
This will save you lots of posts and lots of time. :)

Use the Mask filter.

I want to have an image burn through a section of another.
I want the image to have a irregular outline, a freehand type eclipse with a soft blured edge.
When I use Liquid XE, I can use a keyer which has a freehand tool, which you draw around your image, created a mask, invert it, add soft edge...done in 30 seconds!
Can Edius do something similar.
I have tried Layouter and I can get the image with a soft edge, but it is even all around the image.
