Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 24, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted February 24, 2013 Wipe transitions were not uncommon in old movies but are rare today. George Lucas used a few wipes in StarWars as a bit of an homage to such things. Now I'm doing a project that has quite a few wipes to signify a jump forward in time. I'm mostly using wipes rather than dissolves for that because a dissolve makes every pixel change every frame, which is harder for the codec to compress than just progressively changing small sections of the screen. Now, in an NLE, you can add a drop shadow to the edge of the wipe and that got me to thinking... I can make the new shot look like it is a layer added on top of the old or like a layer revealed behind the old.... and i wonder if the audience perceives those differently. Maybe one means forward in time and one means backwards? I wonder what DW Griffith would do? Quote

sculptorpro Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 One of the best tutorials I have ever seen on animation, hope you will carry on this fast style tutorial. Almost like learning to animate something in 10 minutes. And the wipes add a clean time change to the process. Quote
