Issue with animations and opacity maps

Posts: 81
I've run into a slight issue with opacity maps and I'm wondering if there's any type of workaround.

In a basic sense I have a horizontal and vertical ticker in my theme, but a corner of their backgrounds overlap slightly. I attempted to add a mask to one of the ticker's backgrounds on the widget itself, but when I try to animate its subwidget the opacity mask animates with it. Is there a way to make a widget's opacity mask not move when only animating its subwidget?

Here's an example of what I'm trying to do, the opacity map is applied to the widget and I'm animating the subwidget, and I'd like the TESTs to stay in place instead of animating with the subwidget.

If that doesn't work, here's a proper link since I can't edit this post for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN5vrpD5mCc

EDIT: I can apparently edit replies but not the main post, weird.
