For example, say that in FCP I have a solid generator and on top of that I design an alpha mask.
Then, I want to apply e.g. the border effect but I only want it to be applied to the border of the mask.
How to do that?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.1
I've published the Motion filter Stroke for this purpose:

Effects are "layer ordered", so where in the list of effects it appears will determine how it behaves. You can always click-drag effects to change the order in which they appear in the list.

Sure thing!
As you see there is a generator with a corner mask. Nothing special really.
Then, I applied a Simple Border effect.
However, the effect is not applied only to the opaque part but it is applied to the whole clip.
In this example, I wish the Simple Border to be applied only to the surrounding of the resulting shape.
Nevertheless, in general, I wish to understand how to apply effects only to masked parts.
You can't use the Simple Border for that. It's Simple. Put another generator underneath the gradient you have, copy and paste the same Corner Mask to it, but make it slightly larger to create the border. You can combine the two into a a compound clip if you like to simplify the timeline.
I recreated it using Tom's method.
How did you make the alpha mask? Could you post some screenshots?
Fox always has a better way.
How to apply an effect only to the opaque area of a clip in FCPX?
