Fade/Wipe Effects
These effects let you make pro-style scene
transitions. Use them to spice up the transition
from one scene to the next. You can also vary
transitions from scene to scene.
IMPORTANT:
Some Fade/Wipe Effects cannot be used with
certain modes of Program AE with special
effects (
pg. 24, 25). If an unusable Fade/
Wipe Effect is selected, its indicator blinks or
goes out.
