Star Wipe

Compatibility

Star Wipe is compatible with Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Parameters

Presets

Presets contain a snapshot of your effect configuration. While no built-in presets are available through this parameter, you can still save and load your own preset files.

When you save parameter configuration to a file on disk, this file can later be loaded to recreate the same effect configuration. Presets generated in one video application can be used by the same plug-in running in a different video application.

How do I use the presets popup menu?

Wipe

Transition Layer

Lets you provide the destination clip of a transition effect when used in Motion or After Effects.

Drop Zones in Motion
Layer Menu in After Effects

This parameter is not available in Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro since both video applications support transition effects natively.

Automatic Progress

Lets you control if a transition used in Motion or After Effects should animate automatically over the duration of the clip. When disabled, the transition must be animated by keyframing the Transition Progress parameter.

This parameter is not available in Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro since both video applications support transition effects natively.

Transition Progress

Lets you animate a transition effect in Motion or After Effects. This parameter is only available when Automatic Progress is disabled.

Motion Blur

Motion Blur

Enables motion blur at different quality settings. The higher the quality, the more samples are used. Multiple samples are blended together to produce a single frame of output.

Shutter Angle and Offset

The Shutter Angle slider controls the size (aperture) of the shutter used to simulate motion blur. The size of the shutter determines how long light is allowed to pass through the lens. The angle is set to 180° by default. A shutter angle of 360° means that samples are collected for the entire duration of the frame.
Setting a value of zero means that you want the shutter to collect light only once, which is equivalent to turning motion blur off.

The Shutter Offset slider controls the moment in time when the shutter opens and closes, relative to the duration of the frame. The offset is set to 0 by default. An offset of zero means the shutter is perfectly centered over the moment in time when the frame occurs. The shutter is therefore open an equal amount of time before and after the current frame occurs.

The Shutter Angle and Shutter Offset parameters are only available when motion blur is enabled.
