Intraframe Example: Creating a Single-Layer Organic Matte Wipe
You can use the AniMatte effect to create a custom matte wipe. Additionally, you can create soft
edges and other useful variations by adjusting the parameters of the AniMatte wipe. Multiple video
tracks are not necessary. You apply the AniMatte effect to a transition on a single track of video and
then draw the matte wipe as described in this section.
To create an organic matte wipe:
1. Create a sequence that contains a transition (an incoming and an outgoing segment).
For more information, see “Creating and Editing Sequences” in the Help.
