Matte-Resize

The Matte-Resize effect lets you evenly expand a matte outward in all directions. The matte increases size from its centre.

If you use the Matte-Resize node to create a pulsating glow, you can enlarge the region without softening the edges. Using the Blur-Radial effect, the effect may be softer than you intend. This node produces a limited antialiased matte, which can have slightly jagged edges. You could use this node in combination with other nodes, such as:

Tone
Highlight
Glow
Shadow
Matte-Blur
