Wipes 5 Chapter Overview A wipe is a function that switches from the current image to a new image 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 494). 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. Basic Wipe Setting Operations You carry out wipe setting operations using the Wipe menu on each of the switcher banks. This section describes operations on the M/E-1 bank (M/E-1 >Wipe menu) as an example. For details about independent key transition wipe settings, see "Basic Independent Key Transition Wipe Setting Operations" (page 150).
