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.

Note

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:

Notes

None (Dissolve)

This is a simple dissolve transition between the two tracks. The Softness slider has no effect.

Revert is checked by default, flipping the direction of the transition (goes from the upper track to the lower track)
