Editing a gradient mask?
Once you've drawn in a gradient mask, is there an "easy" way to adjust where it starts/ends and rate at which it fades. Or is it simpler to just start over?
Is there even a way to adjust its fade rate?

Just redraw it.
The rate of fade is controlled by the length of the line you draw. Everything in the opposite direction is 100% adjustment.
Having created the mask you can modify using the regular brush functionality. So in V9 the airbrush, for example, might be a useful way of fine tuning a standard gradient mask to amend the opacity in areas where you want to amend it.
This is one area where I would expect you to get the most benefit simply by experimenting with the application. It's very visual and evident if you have the mask display turned on.
Alternatively it crops up regularly in videos and the video recordings of the webinars.
HTH.

Yes, I've played with it quite a bit. And you do get a pretty good idea of where the gradient will start and end.
But if I set it wrong, and want to amend the start/stop points, I can't figure out a way to get the line back to move its end points.
And there seems to be no way to change the rate of gradation, even when I initially create it.
I just thought I was missing something.0 -
The rate of gradation is just determined by the length of the line you draw from 100% opacity a the top end of the line (and beyond) to 0% at the lower end (and beyond).
It's just as quick to draw down the line again as it is to move the ends of the line.

There is no way to change the amount of max, min, and fading. It always starts with 100% and ends with 0%. The amount of change it produces is defined by the setting of the adjustment tool(s) applied to the fading selection mask.
Pretty straight forward in use.
