Online resources about transitions and Transition effects To the top For an example of how to use animation presets to create custom transitions, see this entry in Stu Maschwitz's ProLost blog. From this page, you can download the Film Burn animation preset, which adds film-like flicker to layers and adds a film burn transition to the ends of the durations of layers. Chris Zwar provides an example project on his website that uses the Displacement Map effect, the Turbulent Displace effect, the Texturize effect, and a combination of Blur and Color Correction effects to create a transition in which an image appears as a watercolor image washed onto a rough piece of paper. Carl Larsen provides a tutorial on the Creative COW website that shows how to use the Motion Tile effect to create a whip-pan transition between two layers. Dave Scotland provides a video tutorial on the CG Swot website that uses the Fractal Noise effect to create a transition between still images. About Transition effects and the Transition Completion property To the top All Transition effects but the Iris Wipe effect have a Transition Completion property. When this property is 100%, the transition is complete, and the underlying layers show through; the layer to which the effect is applied is entirely transparent. You typically animate this property from 0% to 100% over the time of the transition. Block Dissolve effect To the top The Block Dissolve effect makes a layer disappear in random blocks. The width and height of the blocks, in pixels, can be set independently. At Draft quality, the blocks are placed with pixel precision and have sharply defined edges; at Best quality, the blocks can be positioned with subpixel precision and have soft edges. This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.
