Linear wipe

Hello ..
please i have a problem with transition effect called linear wipe
the animation presets is disappeared i cant find it out
please tell me what i have to do
i use after effects for mac
please asap
thanks

I'm not sure what your problem is.
Are you looking for the Effects And Presets panel? If so, Window>Effects & Presets should turn it back on.
If you're looking for the animation presets in the Effects and Presets panel, there is a setting for that panel that turns presets on and off. Turn it back on.
If you're looking for the Linear Wipe effect, it's under Effect>Transitions>Linear Wipe.

Transparency issue within linear wipe effect

Hello,
my client wishes some special linear wipe transitions for his new image movie. Due to the fact, that the transition should have a specified angle i used the "linear wipe" effect to make some presets.
To get a smooth transition i tried to use the feathered edge option. As soon as i choose a value above 9 pixels, the whole layer gets a little bit transparent (approximately 5%) and you can see all video tracks underneath the clip.
I have no idea how to solve this problem. First, i thought that this issue occures only in the preview monitor, but you can see the slight transparency even in the final render. I am surprised that the "linear wipe" effect works perfectly within After Effects, even it is the same plugin file (.aex).
So i tried to import the whole premiere project file into after effects. unfortunately without success.
My current version of Premiere is "Adobe Premiere Pro CC v7.2.2"
Thanks for any support.

Hi BB,
Sorry you did not get a response here. Did you ever resolve this issue? There is another user on the Red User forum experiencing the same issue. Here's a link: Linear wipe transparency Bug
Any details on your system and media would be most helpful in trying to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

Linear wipe through multiple layers

Hi, I am trying to set up a project where by i can drop multiple stills images into a comp and have a linear wipe go through them one by one, all controlled by expressions.
similar to vfx breakdown's you get on Youtube
MPC Prometheus VFX breakdown! - YouTube
Being an intrepid novice to expressions I though "I can do that, no problem!"
So I have a comp with the images in it and another comp with the wipe effect in it. Inside the wipe effect comp I have 2 layers, a null with two sliders and a solid with a linear wipe effect.
The first slider (called pause) controls the length of time before the wipe effect begins and 2nd (called wipeSpeed) controls speed of the wipe:
if (time < thisComp.layer("Controls Wipe").effect("pause")("Slider")){
0
}else{
((time - thisComp.layer("Controls Wipe").effect("pause")("Slider")) * thisComp.layer("Controls Wipe").effect("wipeSpeed")("Slider"))
This works great I can apply a set channels effect to each image layer that takes its alpha channel from the comp with the wipe effect.
But this is just the first step after this I have become stumped, searching the web unsuccessfully for information, I hope I can get some advice here.
What I think needs to happen next is once the transition % for the wipe has reached 100 the time (play head for the comp) needs to go back to frame 0 and the whole process begins again.
Each time the cycle has run the upper most layer in the stack, that is visible, needs to be made invisible, that way each new layer below can be revealed and the whole layer stack is played through sequentially.
I hope that makes sense and there is someone out there that can help. Thanks for your time.

A Knockout Layer (Advanced Blending) might be an option, but I would recommend putting the Layers in a Group and applying a Vector Mask or Layer Mask to the Group. (edited)

Linear Wipe an adjustment layer

Hey all, simple question hopefully.
I'm developing a lower third for a group at school, and I have a bluish layer with an adjustment layer underneath which has a box blur. The idea is for the video under the blue layer to be blurred.
The blue layer linear wipes from the logo, so i figured I could linear wipe the adjustment layer as well. But when I try, I get black where the underlying image should be.
Anyone know why this is happening? How can I fix it?
Thanks,
Dan

I was confused at first then understood what you meant. Thanks.
If I may ask, why does it do this? Shouldn't it just behave like a normal transition?

Any way to make a Linear Wipe radial? (but not Radial wipe)

Not like radial wipe. Attached is a jpg of my challenge. To drop a part into a hole. As it decends into the hole it fades from view. I would like it to look realistic. For the meantime I used a linear blend even though ot should be circular (using the feather to fake as best I could but really doesnt look that good). I tried radial wipe and all the other transistions and they didnt work. I tried a mask but I didnt see a way to leave the mask where it is while you animate the object. The oval mask kept moving with the part dropping in. Thats probably the way to do it with a mask, but I need some help. Am I missing a trick?

If you just need to curve things slightly, Bezier Warp will do wonders for you. For more complicated deformations, Mesh Warp, Liquify and the Puppet tool should get you there.

Mac-compatible plug-in for feathered-wipe video transitions?

Does anyone know of a Mac-compatible alternative for SpiceMaster for creating feathered wipe video transitions? I've just been handed off a job (let's just say the company who started it is "no longer in the picture") and all they used feathered wipe via the SpiceMaster plug-in about 100-150 times (in a 15 minute video — sigh). Anyways, I can't change the visual direction of the project, I just have to clean up the mess. We're Mac-only and the SpiceMaster plug-in isn't available on the Mac.
While one option is to use a liner wipe Video Effect (which allows for the feather), because of the amount of transitions in this job, that's not only a major pain in the arse in itself, but having to move clips in alternating tracks and overlap the footage, etc. becomes a huge headache when they decide to change the edit (as, all of a sudden, the alternating of the clips to different tracks goes all out of wack).
Anyway, I'm hoping someone could suggest a Video Transition plug-in that would allow me to do feathered wipes. It'd mean the difference between a quick replacing of the SpiceMaster transition with whatever plug-in I could use vs. a nightmare of a project using the linear wipe Video Effect.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!!
Kristin.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried using the gradient wipe, but was unsuccessful in attaining the desired effect. Here's a quick screencap to show what I'm seeing:
The problem is, this results in a very narrow wipe. I mean, it's no longer a fine line between image1 and image2, there is some feather, but I really need to feather it out. The gradient I created is the same dimensions as the sequence I'm working in, and is a gradient from 100% black on the left side to pure white on the right, with a nice gradient in between. But, when I use this, it's almost like the source gradient is squished in (on the width) resulting in a very narrow feathered wipe.
Below is an example of the rendered video as it was when using SpiceMaster to create the feathered wipe. The first image is the image directly before the wipe starts, the second image the image directly after the end of the wipe, and the third image is a capture mid-wipe. As you can see, there is a very wide feather during the transition as opposed to what is seen in the screen capture above.
Am I doing something wrong when creating my custom gradient? It seems like, since my source file is a nice, wide gradient, it should result in a wide feather, but for some reason it seems to squish down into a narrow feather?
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Kristin.

Is there a way that to make text look like it is being written on the screen?

I once saw a tiltle (using the font edwardian script) that looked like it was being written on the screen.
I tried using the linear wipe transition, but this does not make the full effect i want.. for instance, when you make a letter "t" in cursive, you start at the bottom, then go up and then down and finally cross the "t". the wipe just went from left to right....
thanks

I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
Good luck,

White space/stripes in between cropped clips

Hi there,
I have shot a video of an rotating object in a photo studio (see example below) on which the cardboard sides are visible.
My goal is to stretch the background on both sides of the rotating object to get rid of the cardboard and create an infinite studio.
So;
- I created 2 copies of the original footage
- I cropped the first copy from the left side of the object to the left screen
- I cropped the second copy from the right side of the object to the right side of the screen
- I scaled both copies in width to the point where the cardboard disappeared out of the screen
- Finally I created a little overlap of both copies with the original so there was no gap between the left and right side
- Voila, I created a infinite studio
Here is the problem; reviewing the file in Adobe Premiere everything looks perfect. But the rendered file shows two white stripes in the middle of the screen (on the edges of the cropped clips).
I have no idea how to fix this.
Can you help me?
Smile, Tom

Thank you for your replies! I am not very experienced when it comes to Adobe Premiere Pro, but thanks to your help I solved the problem!
@Richard M Knight
I am completely new to using linear wipe and masks. But due to the tutorials I found (which where based on transitions between clips) I am a bit wiser now.
Thank you. I have also looked at the waveform monitor, and though I think I've seen the "spikes" you where talking about, I have to admit that it looked like complete abracadabra to me!
@Ann Bens
Thank you, your solution makes sense. But the footage I've shot has a flicker in it which makes the background color change from grey to wh
What I did:
I kept all the layers and used Featered Crop from Creative Impatience to feather the overlaping parts of the layers. The rendered file had no stripes and looked perfect!
Again, thank you all for taking the time to help me!
Smile, Tom

Venetian blinds

Has anyone got the script for making venetian blinds?
Is there a tutorial for this?

Mmmh, certainly some BorisFX plugin or something like that exists, but should be simple enough to put together using a linear wipe before the blinds and rigged with a expression control for the edge of the linear wipe. Also do not forget Card Wipe/ Card Dance that would allow something similar just by defining a custom map...

Width animation in After Effects

I already revealed my logo with a mask. The mask is with a line.
So as the line (it's just a thin rectangle) goes to the right, it reveals the text.
Next I want the line to grow thicker into a box.
Except after I add the keyframe, I change the width of the line and the Rectangle goes all the way to the left off the screen. Or I try to change the width and it doesn't change it for that key frame but throught out the animation like with the mask.
I don't get how this works, How can I animate it so that it won't move so wildly? All I want is to animate the thin rectangle to grow wider to the right side. Help? Adobe after effects Creative Cloud I'm using.

Mylenium wrote:

Well, by using the right tools and methodology. It's as simple as that. You are too bound trying to do everything on a single layer with a single mask, which rarely ever works. Also masks have this odd thing with mask interpolation, which might well explain your difficulties. To reveal your layer, one would simply use a linear wipe or another layer as a matte, which by all means could be an animated shape layer. therein also lies the answer to yopur otehr problem: Simply animate the properties of a parametric shape layer rectangle. Much more controllable.
Mylenium
Well, yeah, that's the problem. I"m okay with the linear wipe mask revealing the text, I feel I've done that fine, it's just the animation of the rectangle now.

Gelly circle shape effect, need help.

Hi, would you please help me to create in AE a "gelly" effect applied to a circle shape? I've tried to use a combination of wiggle path properties and time displacement with linear wipe transform but I'm not able to get something similar with this example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0xtwD9D9zw&feature=youtu.be I just captured this sample from other video but it's for personal use.
Thank you!

If you want to use effects, a simple Ripple effect would be more appropriate. Otehr than that you may simply have to keyframe the path shape...

Rolling title that fades away

Hi,
Thanx in advance for your help.
I am making a kids music DVD. It has 6 songs with video of kids (5-7 year olds) making the movements that go along with each song. Rolling up from the bottom are the lyrics of the song. The lyrics come in hard at the bottom of the screen in white and scroll up about 1/3 of the screen before changing to black with a hard end. I use the ramp effect in the titler to do the change to black but what I want is to fade to transparent for a soft exit when the lyrics scroll off. That hard cut off of the scrolling lyrics/title about 1/3 of the way up is not good. Is there a way to soften the text as it ends about 1/3 of the way up the screen? I have CS5 production Suite but am not knowledgable in Affter Effects. I was going to try Affter Effects but thought timing the scrolling lyrics to match the song would be too hard from there.
thanx,
mel

my head hurts...got this far and am still puzzled how to make it work...LOL...
losing half my video with the linear wipe in black video ( made title in psd not titler with ramp)
will think about this and try to solve later...haha...fun exercise though
but its starting to work...
black video = linear wipe
video 4 = copy of video 1 with luma key
about 4 hours later: updated....below is best I've come up with so far..
fades nice, cant get rid of black due to blur for soft fade out...

My transitions are unequal opacity - creating dark shades

PrPro and AE. Win 7, cs5.
I have source video, subject on white background. Doesn't cover full screen. Add white matte to fill in the gap. No problem.
However, when I fade in an image over the underlying video, the matte portion fades much faster than the source video, creating a stripe. It also brings out uneven color (the yellowish part) in my white background that doesn't show up at full brightness.
So, I exported a video of all white, then imported that video back in - same problem.
I am stuck! How do y'all deal with this?

Here is what I would do in your case.
I would place the identical clip (or a copy) directly on top of the other. ( Vid 1 ,Vid 2)
I would garbage matte or linear wipe the top one.
I would motion the bottom Vid so the lower layer BG fills the upper layer BG area.

Need to crawl a graphic and make it dissapear

Here is a little poser I stumbled on...and I wonder how others would do this in PPRO (CS5).
I have a base line title created in PPRO Titler ( "a string of six words capatilised")
I need to make them crawl right to left across the baseline and then dissapear at the leading edge part way across (just preceding a logo about 8/10ths across the screen.)
Ideally ...dissapear behind a slightly feathered edge.
How would you do this?
BTW: I have done it in AEFX but was surprised that I stumbled on this simple thing in PPRO.

Thanx Guys.
I will try your suggestions and I am very familiar with the Linear Wipe. I use it for
graphic line reveals a lot.
I did play with it a bit yesterday along with Track Mattes and Garbage Mattes.
Will have another play now. (not totally convinced I will add)
It was real easy to do in AEFX but I am taken aback by how hard it is to do in PPRO.
I am persevering for my own edification at his point and I do have a few of them to do for this project and upcoming ones.

In After Effects..How do I add a ramp to a stroke so it fades to bkgrd as a reflection?

I am trying to create a reflection on a solid black background with bot text and an image/movie. Whenever I use linear wipe it wipes out the inside but leaves the stroke solid.
In simple step by step terms how do i apply a ramp/gradient to a stroke to either a text or image in after effects?

What kind of stroke are you applying? It sounds like you're using Layer Styles, but Layer Styles occur AFTER plugin effects in the render pipeline, meaning the stroke is being applied to the layer AFTER the linear wipe, rather than before it.
You can fix the issue in a number of ways; the most obvious is to precompose the layer and add your Linear Wipe to the precomp.
