Creating Customized Wipes with Garbage Masks
 
 
 

Use masks on the incoming clip to create a customized transition that wipes into the outgoing clip. Depending on the type of wipe you are creating, perform some or all of the following procedures:

Setting the Mask Drawing Options

Before you create a mask, set how the points of the mask are drawn.

To set the drawing options:

  1. From the Wipe Editor, click Setup.
  2. Specify the setup options.
    Enable: To:
    Auto Tangents Create tangents for every new point you set.
    Show Border View the border defined in the Offset field of the Shape menu. The colour pot next to the Show Border button defines the colour of the border.
    Invert Reverse your wipe. For instance, if you originally create an expanding box wipe, enabling Invert creates a shrinking box.
    Spline Keyframing Allow animation of points on the mask.
  3. To change the colour of the mask's wireframe, colour points, or offset border, click a colour pot and pick a new colour.
