hm… its not really a ‘blurred mask’, but actually they’d have a picture, and another one, blurred on photoshop or something, on top of it… then they work the mask effects…
hmmm…
I think you misunderstood.
I’ve seen the mask it self blurred, not the image.
I.E.
you know that like key hole mask effect you have seen from time to time. Well, ive see those masks blurred
to give you a better example. im using this effect with the infinite image effect.
So that the scrolling image fades out with the blurred edges. Instead oof a hard one.
hm… can you show me the example you’ve seen? 
no… im sorry i dont have one at hand. but i will search for one.
OK… i figured it out
Soft-Edged Mask
maybe i should write the tutorial
im sure it would be VERY helpful for beginners
oh… i made this file for you, i thought this was the effect youre trying to acheive… sorry for missunderstanding :)…
Ryoga: I believe that is called a vignette or something like that.
I know its not a mask though.
