Adobe Premiere can use any importable grayscale image as a gradient wipe. In a gradient wipe,
image B fills the black area of the grayscale image and then shows through each level of gray as
the transition progresses until the white area becomes transparent. When you create a Gradient
Wipe transition, you can specify the “softness” of the transition’s edges.
