Wipes

Overview

A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a
new video stream, using a wipe pattern.
Changing the background by means of a wipe is referred to
as a "background wipe," and inserting or deleting a key
with a wipe is termed a "key wipe."
There are two types of wipe: those that can be selected in
a common transition, and those that can be selected in an
independent key transition (see page 136).

Types of Wipe Pattern

The patterns that can be used for a wipe are divided into a
number of groups, as follows. Note that only the standard
wipe patterns can be used for an independent key
transition.
For wipe patterns, see "Wipe Pattern List" in Appendix
(Volume 1) (page 308).
Standard wipe patterns
Patterns consisting of straight lines vertically,
horizontally, or diagonally, and circular patterns.
Enhanced wipes
More complex shapes such as hearts, stars, and round
corners.
Rotary wipes
These patterns involve rotation of the image about a point.
Mosaic wipe pattern
This divides the image into small tiles.
Random and diamond dust wipe patterns
These patterns consist of small random tiles, or fine
particles.
