3D Editor for Transitions
The 3D-Editor for transitions is used for generating 3D effects between two clips.
The 3D Editor has four drop-down controls in addition to those of the 2D Editor.
They are:
 Rotation - Defines rotations of the image in space (“Rotation” on page 572).
 Camera - Defines the position of the virtual camera in space (“Camera” on page 576).
 Shear - Distorts the image along the edges ( page 578).
 Pageturn - Contains the parameters for the Pageturn effect (“Pageturn” on page 580).
For a comprehensive description of all 3D features please turn to “Clip FX 3D-Editor” on page 569 pp.
Wipe Editor for Transitions
The Wipe Editor creates an alpha channel. This channel operates like a mask placed on top of a clip which
causes only parts of the clip to appear. In the case of a transition wipe effect, the image data of the other
clip (incoming or outgoing clip) can be adjusted at the same time.
Opening the Wipe Editor for Transitions:
There are three ways to open the Wipe Editor for Tr an s it i o n s:
 In the Project window, click Library Tab > Folder Classic Transition FX > Edi-
tors. Drag the Wipe Editor from the content area to a cut on the Timeline. Right-
click the effect, then click Edit in the shortcut menu to open the Editor with the
existing clips.
 If you have already created a copy of the editor in a Rack other than Library : Click Open in the
shortcut menu or simply double-click the effect.
In the Effect Viewer, the default graphics appear. In general, an effect preview runs more quickly
and smoothly with these test graphics than with video clips, so it is advisable to use this method
to open the Wipe Editor if you only want to test effects and view them in the editor or if you would
like to create your own standard effects that are not meant for any particular clips.
