Wipe

Wipe transitions are intended to preserve the continuity of motion between two clips. They do this by matching the overall movement and direction of the subjects across the outgoing and incoming clips.

Band Wipe: Color sets the color of the border, if there is one. Border sets the width of the border, in pixels, with 0 creating no border. Feather is a checkbox that, when turned on, uses the Border slider to determine the amount of feathering at the edge of the transition. The Reverse checkbox reverses the direction of the transition. Preset lets you choose one of the following presets:

— Horizontal

— Vertical

— Horizontal Bilinear

— Vertical Bilinear

Center Wipe: Color sets the color of the border, if there is one. Border sets the width of the border, in pixels, with 0 creating no border. Angle specifies the angle of the wipe as it emerges from the middle of the screen. Feather is a checkbox that, when turned on, uses the Border slider to determine the amount of feathering at the edge of the transition. The Reverse checkbox reverses the direction of the transition.
