To the forum admin or main poster of this topic:
Would it be possible to change the title? I'm sure this topic would get more attention if the title wouldn't be a bit misleading. I would suggest something like "Transparent gradient mask (likewise Photoshop)". But nothing like Facebook in the title. I don't even know what Facebook Live Comments are …

At the moment it's just possible to simulate a gradient mask with i.e. a rectangle and a linear gradient with the same color as the background. But this circumvents some more complex designs and prototypes. So we need a real gradient mask with alpha.

Gradient Masks give us the ability to fade off scrolling objects without having them run underneath actual objects. We are developing a TV UI and already have a few gradients creating light effects.

We need the Scrolling block of "cards" to scroll off into a vanishing point and can't put a block on top of them to obscure - in this case we really need a mask.

I would like to see a gradient/fade mask feature, similar to how comments were being masked on Facebook Live and other live streaming apps.
