Editing Wipes

If the preset SMPTE wipes do not offer enough flexibility, you can create customized wipes with the Wipe Editor. Starting from one or multiple garbage masks of any shape, create wipes that, for example, follow on-screen motion or mimic the shape of an object in a clip.

Use the Wipe Editor to:

• Create wipes that follow the motion of an object as it uncovers the incoming clip.
• Create wipes that resemble shapes in your frames.
• Create wipes that act as complex dissolves.
• Modify existing SMPTE wipes.

To create or modify a customized wipe:

1. Add a SMPTE wipe to a transition on the timeline.
2. Set the transition duration.
3. Set the alignment.
4. Select the SMPTE wipe icon on the timeline and then click E beside the Wipe button.

   A garbage mask in the form of the SMPTE wipe pattern is displayed over the outgoing and incoming clips in the Wipe Editor.

   
   

5. Modify the vertices of the garbage masks to change the wipe. See Altering a Mask's Shape.
6. Click Exit Wipe to return to Batch.
7. Process the wipe.
