| Video Edit Magic: Wipe Transitions |
Wipe Transitions
Video Edit Magic provides a host of Wipe Transitions. All wipe transitions change over time. These transitions are sorted into 11 categories so that they can be located and managed easily.
Transition Mask JPEG is displayed under the General tab in the settings dialogue; Scale, Origin and Replicate under the Dimension tab and Border Width, Border Smoothness and Border Color under the Border tab.
Every transition under a wipe transition category is known as a mask. A set of common settings can be specified for every transition. The settings are:
Transition Mask Property
This option lets you select from among various wipe transitions. For example the Triangle Wipe transition that gradually displays the second video clip while moving over the first clip through a variety of triangular shape (s). Every category comprises of different variations of the same transition that share similar shapes or traits. For example, the Triangle Wipe category contains all triangle-type transitions.
Transition Mask JPEG
A transition mask image specifies a JPEG file that is used as a transition. Simply select Transition Mask JPEG, browse for the JPEG file and click OK.
Scale
Scale defines the percentage of scaling to be applied to the original transition. A transition can be scaled / stretched horizontally or vertically by specifying the horizontal and vertical scale values respectively.
Origin
Origin defines the center from where a transition originates. The X (Horizontal) and Y (Vertical) axis of a transition can be specified by setting the origin values. Alternately, the origin can also be roughly set by dragging your mouse over the origin pad.
Replicate
Replicate defines the number of times a transition is repeated horizontally and / or vertically. Smart usage of replicate can provide you with a completely new transition.
Border Width
Border width determines the border width in pixels of a transition.
Border Softness
Border softness reduces sharp border edges of a transition.
Border Color
Border color specifies the color to be given to the border of a transition. To set the border color you may:
- Select a primary color.
- Select the Red, Green and Blue composition of a color.
- Select the color from the palette by clicking the Custom button.
Swap video tracks for this transition
Normally, the Second Video replaces the First Video in a Wipe. Check this option if you want the First Video to replace the Second Video.
The transition with its settings can be instantly previewed. After the transition has been configured, you may click “OK” to apply the transition.
