Wipe

The composition type Wipe is a transition. For the duration of the composition in the timeline the clips are transitioned according to the selected wipe method. It works similar to the Luma composition type / transition.

Bemerkung

Luma and Dissolve transitions direct here because they are essentially doing the same thing: use a greyscale image to transition from one clip to the other. They have two additional parameters: Use transparency and Make padding transparent.

The Wipe transition by default performs a simple dissolve. You can select a different Wipe Method, download from KDE Store, or use a file from your local file system.

Settings for the Wipe transition

1:

Select the composition type

2:

Select the composition track. Automatic uses the track immediately below. Only tracks with lower numbers can be selected.

3:

Select the Wipe Method

4:

Download and install new Wipe Methods from the KDE Store

5:

Set the softness (feathering) of the wipe method. Setting Softness to zero creates a sharp edge between the two clips.

6:

Check to invert the direction of the wipe method

7:

Check to reverse the direction of the wipe method (flips the clips)

This list shows the standard available wipe methods:
