Wipe, slide and push: In each of
these standard transition types, the
incoming video is gradually
revealed behind an edge that moves across the frame in
a certain direction. The Album icons at the head of this
paragraph represent a leftward wipe, a down-and-left
slide and a rightward push respectively.
In a wipe transition, both the old and new video occupy
their normal position in the frame throughout the
transition. The new video comes into view as the
transition edge crosses the frame, rather like new
wallpaper being rolled on over old.
A slide is similar to a wipe, but in this case the frame of
the new video slides across the screen until it reaches
its home position. The effect is reminiscent of a blind
being pulled down over a window.
A push is similar to a slide, except that the old video is
pushed out of the frame as the new video enters, like
advancing a filmstrip from one from frame to the next.
