<p>I'm starting out with Final Cut Pro and I want to create a circular gradient to white in Final Cut Pro so that the movie looks like the image below.</p>

<p>I searched around and found a Graduated Mask effect. That is only a linear effect though, and it does a gradient to black (and I can't find a setting to change the color).</p>

<p>Does anybody know how I can do this in Final Cut Pro X? All tips are welcome!</p>

# How to create circle gradient in Final Cut Pro?

1. Add a new custom generator and set the colour to white.

2. Add your media above. In this example, I will use a photo.
3. Apply the Draw Mask to your image.
4. Click to add 4 control points, then set the control point positions using the inspector.
