simple soft borders around cropped pic on pic

Hi there, I am on FCPX 10.3 now - and I can´t find the solution anymore I used to have for following topic: I crop a picture, resize and compose it on the main layer. I want to soften the borders of the cropped pic. How in 10.3?? THX for help!!! uli

Instead of using Crop tools, apply a Shape Mask, which offers a 'feather' setting

I saw that as well, but my crop is different regarding sizing of the original (see pic)

Tokyo PiPinator on fxfactory is well worth the investment for this kind of thing and a lot more.

but there was another feather- solution inside FCPX - did they move it somewhere or did they delete it of FCPX in the update??

omg, I just tried it again after I saw the green handles on the pic you posted: you can actually rezize and later transform it! It never showed the handles upfont when I tried it - because I had the transformation too on before: you have to de-activate the transformation/do it in the second step, otherwise it does not show the handles to work on the picture! THX, heled me a lot!!
