As we see on the screenshot above, After Effects CC 2014 by default only applies the mask to the original layer, instead of final blurred image, resulting at a fuzz edge phenomenon when rending layers.

I would like to make a ring that has a faint inner glow ala this image: I've tried first creating a circle, then applying a layer mask with a radial gradient from pure black to pure white, but that only achieves a linear gradient from center to edge, whereas this appears to be purely transparent right up to the edge ...

I'd like to crop several images to a specific size. Previously, I would set the size in the crop tool and happily run through a few images and have them all crop to the same specific size.
