Fade/Wipe Effects

These effects let you make pro-style scene
transitions. Use them to spice up the transition
from one scene to the next. You can also vary
transitions from scene to scene.
IMPORTANT:
Some Fade/Wipe Effects cannot be used with
certain modes of Programme AE with special
effects ( pg. 40, 41). If an unusable Fade/
Wipe Effect is selected, its indicator blinks or
