To feather the edge of the shape, increase the value of the Softness parameter.

Two additional editable shapes appear to the inside and the outside of the shape you
drew. The inner shape shows where the feathering begins, while the outer shape
shows the very edge of the feathered shape. If necessary, each border can be
independently adjusted.

Click Attach, at the top of the Shapes tab, to attach the shape you’ve just created to the
tab of the Secondary room you were just in (the number of the secondary tab should
be displayed in the Current Secondary field at the top of the Shapes tab).

If necessary, you can also add keyframes or motion tracking to animate the shape to
match the motion of the camera or subject, so the shape you created matches the
action of the shot.

When you’ve finished with the shape, open the Secondaries room.
