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 removing 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.

Types of Wipe Pattern

Wipe patterns are classified into the following groups.
Only standard wipe patterns can be used in an independent
key transition.
For images of patterns, see "Wipe Pattern List"
(page 480).
Standard wipes
Patterns consisting of straight lines vertically,
horizontally, or diagonally, and circular patterns.
Enhanced wipes
Patterns such as hearts, stars, and round corners.
Rotary wipes
Patterns that rotate an image about a point.
Mosaic wipes
Patterns that divide an image into small tiles.
Random/diamond dust wipes
Patterns that display small tiles randomly, and patterns that
generate fine particles.
