I want to have a Gradiant Mask animate over an image. So i made a square and filled it with white. I added a liner gradiant and Alpha faded on of the colors to 0. SO i have my nice faded square which to make a mask out of.

Problem when i make the gradiant square layer a mask it just makes a big square the size of the whole gradiant square. It doesn’t apear faded at all. Does anyone know how i can do this effect?
