Wipes
Overview
A wipe is a function that switches from the current image
to a new image using a wipe pattern.
Changing the background by means of a wipe is referred to
as a “background wipe,” and inserting or removing a key
with a wipe is termed a “key wipe.”
There are two types of wipe: those that can be selected in
a common transition, and those that can be selected in an
independent key transition.
Types of Wipe Pattern
Wipe patterns are classified into the following groups.
Only standard wipe patterns can be used in an independent
key transition.
For images of patterns, see “Wipe Pattern List”
(page 496).
Standard wipes
Patterns consisting of straight lines vertically,
horizontally, or diagonally, and circular patterns.
Enhanced wipes
Patterns such as hearts, stars, and round corners.
Rotary wipes
Patterns that rotate an image about a point.
Mosaic wipes
Patterns that divide an image into small tiles.
Random/diamond dust wipes
Patterns that display small tiles randomly, and patterns that
generate fine particles.
Basic Wipe Setting
Operations
You carry out wipe setting operations using the Wipe
menu on each of the switcher banks.
This section describes operations on the M/E-1 bank
(M/E-1 >Wipe menu) as an example.
For details about independent key transition wipe settings,
see “Basic Independent Key Transition Wipe Setting
Operations” (page 151).
