SOFT EDGE WIPE

A linear wipe transition with an adjustable feathered edge. Used for transitioning between two layers of footage using a subtle blend. Includes angle control and the ability to add a colored stroke as a part of the transition.

Getting Started in a timeline       

1. Dragging the transition over your edit in the timeline, drop it at the end or beginning of a clip, or in between two clips.
2. Modify the Duration either by entering a length in the field, or dragging directly in the timeline.
3. You can choose the Alignment (Center at Cut, Start at Cut, End at Cut, Custom Start) either by positioning the transition in the timeline, or by choosing from the Alignment drop-down in some host applications.

Getting Started in a compositor    

1. Apply the transition to the layer you want to transition from.
2. Choose the footage layer you would like to transition to in the Transition B drop-down menu. (Note for Motion users: drag the footage layer up to the Transition B box).
3. Animate your transition using the Mix slider from 0-100%. Set a keyframe for 0% where the transition should start, then set another at 100% for the end.

  • click the Stroke Border checkbox to turn it on
  • Border Width: control the thickness of the stroke
