Creating a wipe transition
$ Balance Lets you adjust the prominence of the border between image A
and image B. For example, positive values make the border more prominent
in image B, while negative values make the border more prominent in image
A.
$ Reset Click this button to restore the default Border values.
3 Use the controls under Softness to create a soft edge on the border of your
wipe.
$ Nonlinear softness This option is selected by default. You may find it
useful to clear this option when using certain wipe patterns. For example,
nonlinear softness often provides better results when creating SMPTE
wipes, while linear softness is usually preferable when creating organic
wipes.
$ Amount Lets you adjust the amount of softness by dragging the slider or
entering a percentage in the text box. The higher the value, the less sharp
the edge of your border or wipe will become.
$ Reset Click this button at any time to restore the default Softness values.
4 Use the controls under Preview to preview your wipe transition:
$ Drag the slider beside the Play button to scrub through your transition.

settings. You can also create default settings for your wipe transitions.
