A discussion of this cool tool for creating custom transitions. How to use it and how to teach it to do tricks, like the live handwriting effect.

As a bonus, in the Complimentary Products area, you'll find a pack of 10 gradient patterns so you can experiment with this very cool tool.

Have fun and Happy Moviemaking!

Hey Steve,

what a great tool. Thank you very very much for your tutorial and the gradient patterns. I just started to imagine how this might work in my projects.

Steve should the wipe transitions be install or put into PE3 and just make a folder and get them from there. I was wondering if they can be put with all the other transitions in PE3? Thanks for your help.

[Steve Grisetti]

Ric, those are just gradients. Just unzip them some place you can find them later.

As you can see in the article, the Gradient Wipe effect builds transitions based on gradient patterns. Once you've applied a Gradient Wipe, you just browse to one of these gradients and apply it and you'll get the transition.

The gradient patterns themselves are not transitions. They're just patterns that the Gradient Wipe transition uses to base its transition on.

Thanks Steve for the clairifation between wipes & patterns I did not know you can use them both at the same time. I will now go read your artitcal which I should of already done. That is way I'm a member learning something new everyday here.
