S_WipeDotsPerforms a wipe transition between two input clips using a grid of growing or shrinking dots. The Wipe Amount parameter should be animated to control the transition speed. Increase the Grad Add parameter to make the timing of the dots pattern move across the screen during the wipe. Increase the Border Width parameter to draw a border at the wipe transition edges.In the Sapphire Transitions category.

Parameters:
-
Load Preset:
Push-button
.
Brings up the Preset Browser to browse all available presets for this effect.
-
Save Preset:
Push-button
.
Brings up the Preset Save dialog to save a preset for this effect.
-
Wipe Amount:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 to 1.
Determines the transition ratio between the From and To inputs, and would normally be animated from 0 to 1 to perform a complete transition. The curve controlling this parameter can be adjusted for more detailed control over the timing of the wipe.
-
Dots:
Popup menu, Default: Grow
.
The direction of the dots transition.
-
Shrink:
the dots start large and shrink inwards.
- Grow: the dots start small and grow outwards.
- Grow: the dots start small and grow outwards.
-
Shrink:
the dots start large and shrink inwards.
-
Angle:
Default:
45,
Range:
any.
The rotation of the overall dots pattern used for the wipe, in counter-clockwise degrees.
-
Frequency:
Default:
6,
Range:
0.1 or greater.
The frequency of the dots pattern. Increase for more and smaller elements, or decrease for fewer and larger.
-
Rel Width:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.1 or greater.
The relative horizontal size of the dots. Increase for wider dots, decrease for taller ones.
-
Rel Wid Pre Rot:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.1 or greater.
The relative size of the dots in the direction of the current rotation angle. If the Angle parameter is zero this will have the same effect as Rel Width.
-
Edge Softness:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
The width of the transition edges. Larger values will cause softer, less visible edges in the wipe pattern.
-
Grad Add:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
If positive, a gradient will be added to the timing of the transition pattern so it moves across the screen during the wipe.
-
Grad Angle:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
The direction of the wipe gradient in counter-clockwise degrees. This will have no effect unless Grad Add is positive.
-
Shift:
X & Y, Default:
screen center.
Translation of the dots pattern.
Border Parameters:
-
Border Width:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
If positive, a colored border is drawn at the wipe transition edges, using the border color, opacity, softness, and shift parameters below.
-
Border Opacity:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 1.
The opacity of the border. Decrease to make the border transparent and allow the image under it to show through. This has no effect unless Border Width is positive.
-
Border Softness:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
The softness of the border edges. This has no effect unless Border Width is positive.
-
Border Shift:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Shifts the border ahead of or behind the transition edge. This has no effect unless Border Width is positive.
-
Border Color:
Default rgb:
[0.75 0 0].
The color of the border. This has no effect unless Border Width is positive.
-
Border Glow:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Adds a glow along the border of the wipe. The value determines the brightness of the glow.
-
Glow Width:
Default:
0.1,
Range:
0 or greater.
The width of the glowing border.
-
Width Red:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the red glow width. If the red, green, and blue widths are all equal, the glow will match Glow Color. Otherwise it will have a fringe of varying color.
-
Width Green:
Default:
1.2,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the green glow width.
-
Width Blue:
Default:
1.4,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the blue glow width.
-
Glow Color:
Default rgb:
[1 1 1].
The color of the glowing border.
-
Noise Amp:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
The amount of noise to add to the glowing border.
-
Noise Freq:
Default:
16,
Range:
0.1 to 20.
The spatial frequency of the noise.
-
Noise Speed:
Default:
2,
Range:
any.
The speed with which the noise changes or boils over time.
