Click the New Frame button on the Infobar to add a new frame to our animation. Notice the gray line version from the first frame is automatically included in the new frame.

Paste the bitmap and wedge shape directly on top using Shift Ctrl V.

Select the wedge shape, and the bitmap, and from the Arrange pull down menu, select Combine Shapes > Intersect Shapes.

These removes all but a wedge shape portion of the bitmap image.

NOTE: Pasting the contents of the clipboard, does not remove the clipboard's contents until another selection is copied or cut. Hence the wedge and bitmap remain for future use.

Select the wedge shape then select the Transparency Tool.

From the drop down list of Transparency Shapes, select Linear. Drag the ends of the fill path as shown so the non- transparent side is on the right and the transparent end is on the left.

NOTE: Confused over the name of the drop down lists? Let the cursor rest over the list (or any other box or tool) for a few seconds and a small box with the name will appear.
