Wipes 7 Chapter Overview A wipe is a function that switches from the current image to a new image using a wipe pattern. You can also switch the background and insert/remove keys depending on the wipe. There are two types of wipe: wipes that can be set in a common transition, and wipes that can be set in an independent key transition. Wipe patterns Wipe patterns are classified into the following groups. Only standard wipe patterns can be used in an independent key transition. For the pattern images, see "Wipe Pattern List" (page 491). Pattern group Standard wipes Enhanced wipes Rotary wipes Mosaic wipes Random/diamond dust wipes Description Patterns consisting of straight lines vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and circular patterns Patterns such as stars, hearts, and round corners Patterns that rotate an image about a point Patterns that divide an image into small tiles Patterns that display small tiles randomly, and patterns that generate fine particles Pattern mix You can create a new pattern by mixing two patterns (main and sub). Four types of pattern mix can be created: mix, positive non-additive mix (NAM), negative non-additive mix (NAM), and morphing mix. Note In an independent key transition, a pattern mix cannot be used. Dust mix This applies a diamond dust wipe effect to a pattern created using a wipe pattern or pattern mix. Wipe pattern modifiers You can add various modifiers to a wipe pattern, such as setting the wipe direction and pattern position. Pattern limit You can specify the transition execution limit of a wipe. For details, see "Pattern Limit" (page 106). Note In an independent key transition, a pattern limit cannot be used. 148
