ABSTRACT
For this example, I’m again using the Transitions.aep project from the Chapter 20 folder. The Linear Wipe effect transitions between clips with a simple line. You can change the transition completion, alter the angle of the line, and feather it, and that’s it. But it is the simplicity here that makes it so appropriate. Just like the way it was used by George Lucas, use this to create a harder transition than a simple cut between shots. It can also be used to transition with movement in the shot. For example, if you had footage of someone opening a door, you could use the Linear Wipe transition to create the illusion that they were opening the door to the next clip (Figs. 20.24 and 20.25 ).
