Scalar Parameter NOT Fading in Matinee

Imatk

So I have a scalar parameter setup with a material instance.

The parameter controls a texture that "eats" into another texture revealing a fire texture.

When I hook this up in Matinee, it will not "fade" from one texture to another as it should, it only is a basic on/off look where it's one material until it finishes the animation and it immediately POPS to the other material with no fading whatsoever.

What am I doing wrong here?

UGH.... ok just figured it out... it was a problem with the Object UVs not the setup at all.

I remember trying scalar parameters in matinee never working..

I always used a vector parameter instead.. used just the red channel and faded it that way

Yeah you have to have a Translucent material for it to work. Otherwise it just turns off/on and doesn't fade... Alpha Composite also seems to work.
