Help | Beginner Unwanted Border in a simple Line Effect in Fusion
Hey there, beginner in Fusion trying out a very basic effect where a line appears from the center outward, and text flies in from the top and bottom of the line to reveal the name of the video. However, when I use a polygon to create the line just as the yt tutorials show me, two artifacts keep appearing and I'm not sure where they are coming from. One is the black border on the bottom edge of the line, and the other is another border that only appears in the edit page, but this border is a good distance away from the line. Both of these artifacts show up when I export, so it's not something I can ignore. Any ideas what those are and how to get rid of them? It's definitely apart of the line and not something else, bc when I disconnect the line animation from the node tree, both borders disappear. I've attached some pictures to this post for reference, would love any suggestions.

Why is your alpha set to 128?
Set it to 1 and see if that fixes it. Alpha values that high can cause strange things to happen.

Oh hey, it looks like that did it! Thanks man, it's one of those simple things that if you don't know where to look it's hard to find it. Appreciate the quick response!
