(MEP 2015 Plus) ... edge-of-picture feathering?

Is it possible please (MEP 2015 Plus) to do edge-of-picture feathering?

In a 1920x1080 project I want to take a 1920x1080 clip, reduce its size to say 1600x900, rotate it slightly, and then feather/soften the edges of the rotated clip, whilst leaving the majority of the clip sharp. There would be a full screen background image on a higher track. What want to achieve is something like

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3261037/reduce%2C%20rotate%2C%20feather-edge.jpg

The size reduction and rotation are easy but I'm not clear if it's possible, or how, to feather just the edge of the resultant video. Suggestions gratefully received; the word feather is used just once in the help, AFAICS.

Thanks.  -Mike -

Make a white jpg in nearly the same size with a soft border. Put this above the picture and go to chromaKey and make a alpha mask.

Now you have the pic with soft edges. Now let rotate the pic - after this copy (right mouse click) this effect and add it to the mask.

Than both have the same way

Sorrs for my limited englich....

Thank you very much for your quick response.  No need to apologise for your English - I was able to work out how to achieve what I wanted from your guidance.
