Effects of Object Appearance/Disappearance (Wipes)

In the graphics editor, Mix In / Mix Out fields set effects of appearance/disappearance of the object layer.

Examples

A transition template (Wipe) example at the picture is a full screen wipe: when an object appears the wipe will open it from left to right, when it disappears, the wipe will close it from right to left.Download example.

Configuring

Transition settings are specified at the Elements tab in object properties.

In the Elements tab, select the object and manually enter “wipe_1” into the Wipe row of Mix In/Mix Out fields.

Type – transition type.

Cut – default value, no effect.

Fade – smooth appearing (so-called mixer); specify transition duration in frames in the Dur field.

Wipe is the Gradient Wipe effect, using the full screen static picture with a transition template. Object transparency will be changing during the transition duration specified in the Dur field. The sequence of changing the object transparency will be maintained: from the template darkest areas, with a smooth transition to lighter ones.

Local Wipe – scales the transition template to object current sizes. Using this mode is convenient in case if an object is small: in this case a full screen transition may not give the necessary visual effect.

Dur – transition effect duration in frames.

Wipe – selecting a wipe template. Manually enter the template name specified in the list of the General tab.

To view effects in the editing window, activate the Preview fade ins/outs button in the graphics editor Top menu. Use the scrolling area.
