Adjusting a Preset SMPTE Wipe
Using Templates for SMPTE Wipes
Creating an Axis Transition
Adjusting a Custom Wipe
With custom wipes, you may need to create a
template if:
- You
intend to change the default start position for the wipe by using
the X and Y Position fields in the Wipe quick menu.
- You
intend to increase the duration of the transition by a large amount.
- You
intend to use the custom wipe often.
- The
custom wipe has no tracking data.
When you create a template, you must specify
the default start position and then define an End Bias for all nine
possible end positions. Once you create the template, you must enable
the blue light on the Template button to make the Adjust option
available.
To
set the start position for a custom wipe:
- Create
your wipe. See
Creating Customized Wipes with Garbage Masks.
- Select
the transition on the timeline and click Pattern.
The file browser appears.
- Select
Custom in the SMPTE wipes box to view saved custom transitions.
- Select
the custom transition you want to use.
Your custom wipe is applied to the transition
icon on the timeline.
- Click
E beside the Wipe button to enter the Wipe Editor.
- Click
Template to display the Template menu.
- Enable
the Template Mode button to view the template in the image window.
- Click
Start Position.
- Set
the default start position by enabling a Start Position button, for
example, Top Left.
To
set the end bias for a transition:
- Click
End Bias.
The positioner goes to the last frame of the wipe.
- Set
the value in the currently enabled End Bias box to 0. (The currently
enabled End Bias box should be the same as the default start position.)
On the last frame, the point closest to the
centre of the axis should be just outside the image. This ensures
that the mask fully covers the incoming image. If it does not, click
the Mask button and proportionately increase the scale of the mask.
- Set
an End Bias for every End Bias position:
- Click
each End Bias box and drag the value until the mask is just large
enough to encompass the entire image.
To
adjust the custom wipe:
- Enable
Template.
- Exit
the Wipe Editor.
- Change
the X and Y position for the wipe in the Wipe quick menu, or increase
the duration of the transition.
- Scrub
the transition.
Notice how the interpolation causes the last
frame of the wipe to jump.
- Enable
Adjust in the Wipe quick menu.
- The
interpolation of the transition should be much smoother.
