CLOCK WIPE

Presets

Clock Wipe presets give you one-click access to fully configured wipes. Simply keyframe the Mix duration (see below) and tune to taste! Find these presets via the blue Open Dashboard... button or the Choose a Preset... button below it.

As with all other Universe tools, you can modify or create a Clock Wipe look and then save it under its own name by pressing the Save Preset... button.

Getting Started in a Timeline

1. Drag the transition over your edit in the timeline, placing it at the end or beginning. Alternatively, you can place it between two successive clips.
2. Modify the Duration of the transition either by entering a length in the field or dragging directly in the timeline.
3. You can choose the Alignment (Center at Cut, Start at Cut, End at Cut, or Custom Start) either by positioning the transition in the timeline or by choosing from the Alignment drop-down in some host applications.

Getting Started in a Compositor

1. Apply the transition to the layer from which you want to transition.
2. Choose the footage layer you would like to transition to in the Transition B drop-down menu. (Note for Motion users: Drag the footage layer up to the Transition B box.)
3. Animate your transition using the Mix slider from 0% to 100 percent. Set a keyframe for 0% where the transition should start, then set another at 100% for the end.

Modify the Transition

• Animation contains a drop-down list of presets on how the wipe progresses over time. Click here for more information about these animation presets.
• Start Angle controls the angle of the line from which the wipe emerges. Shown below are 90 degrees (left, the default) and 140 degrees (right).
  
• Edge Softness adjusts the blur of the wipe's edges. Shown below are values of 0 (left) and 40 (right).
  
• Mirror toggles whether a duplicate wipe occurs opposite from the first one. In the following capture, which occurs late in the transition, we show Mirror disabled (left), then enabled (right).
  
• Mirror Type determines if the duplicate wipe (toggled above) occurs along the Vertical axis or whether it's Flipped entirely.
• Counter Clockwise progresses the wipe in a counter-clockwise direction.
