After selecting one of the available wipes you have further possibilities
at hand to adjust the transition:
As soon as an item of the transition properties is altered its effect is im-
mediately applied to the selected transition between two clips. Once
the transition properties are set, you can, for example, review the tran-
sition and evaluate its effect easily with the button REVIEW of the con-
trols (see section “Controls” on page 5-11).
Item Description
Softness Use the Softness slider and the percentage value to
its right to adjust the softness (feathering) of the
wipe. Then the edges of the emerging image appear
softer so that they blend into the receding image
with less contrast. With the slider you can set the
softness to values between 0 and 100 %. However,
with the percentage value to the right of the slider
you can select values even greater than 100 %: Use
the controls to the right of the entry field to step the
value up or down until it is set as desired.
Start The Start entry field indicates in percent the starting
point of the transition. If adjusted, the operator will
begin the transition at a later point of its phases to
blend into the receding image. If this value is greater
than the value set in the End entry field, the transi-
tion effect will be reversed, i.e. a change will appear
towards the (increasing) black area (see graphics in
figure 7-4 on page 7-8).
This button transfers the value set in the End entry
field to the Start entry field (from right to left).
This button exchanges the values between the End
and Start entry fields. The value of the End entry
field will be transferred to the Start entry field and
vice versa.
With this button you can transfer the value set in the
Start entry field to the End entry field (from left to
right).
End The End entry field indicates in percent the ending
point of the transition. If adjusted, the operator will
conclude the transition at an earlier point of its phas-
es to blend into the receding image. If this value is
less than the value set in the Start entry field, the
transition effect will be reversed, i.e. a change will
appear towards the (increasing) black area (see
graphics in figure 7-4 on page 7-8).
