BCC Title Wipe

Category: BCC Transitions

Effect Name: BCC Tile Wipe

The BCC Twister filter, part of the BCC Transitions group, creates a transition between two layers by dividing the footage into tiles and animating the scale and rotation of the individual tiles.

Working with the Filter

Presets and Common Controls

• BCC filters come with a library of factory installed presets plus the ability to create your own custom presets and preview them with the BCC FX Browser™.
• BCC filters also include common controls that configure global effect preferences and other host-specific effect settings.

• Layer to Reveal: This layer selection popup is not relevant when you have applied the filter as a true NLE-style transition and it will be hidden or disabled in that context. When applied as a normal “effect” as opposed to a transition, however, this menu is used to select the Incoming or Reveal layer for the transition.
• Animation: Menu controlling what drives the animation of the transition.
• Auto: Automatically generates a transition based on the transition length (when used as a transition) or the clip length (when used as a filter.)
• Percent Done: Requires the user to set keyframes to control the transition progression.
• Percent Done: When the Animation menu is changed to Percent Done then this slider can be manually keyframed to control the transition progression.
• Reverse Transition: Reverses the direction and layer to which the transition is applied.
• Lock Scale: When Lock Scale is enabled the Horizontal and Vertical Scales are locked internally and both dimensions use the value set by the Horizontal Scale slider. Disable Lock Scale and adjust the horizontal and vertical scale factors independently to create tiles that become progressively more rectangular as they animate.
• Horizontal Scale: Determines the rate at which the horizontal scale changes during the transition on top of the standard scaling involved in shrinking/expanding to complete the basic transition.
• Vertical Scale: Controls the rate at which the vertical scale changes during the transition on top of the standard scaling involved in shrinking/expanding to complete the basic transition.
• Tile Size:Sets the relative size of the tiles which in turn controls the number of tiles into which the image is divided. Higher values will produce a smaller number of larger tiles.
• Rotation: Sets the total amount of rotation the tiles go through over the course of the transition.
• Cut Tiles: When enabled this restricts each tile to the image portion originally inhabiting that tile.
• Opaque Sources: When enabled, this tells the transition that it is applied to opaque images and thus for example that it is OK to apply the Drop Shadow (which is only supported when working with opaque clips). If working with titles or other clips containing alpha objects you must disable this checkbox to ensure proper transition behavior.

Drop Shadow Group

Adds depth to the transition with a drop shadow between the upper and lower layers as the opacity of the upper layer is modified by the wipe pattern. This feature is only supported when working with opaque clips.

• Drop Shadow On: Enables the drop shadow feature.
• Color: Sets the color of the drop shadow.
• Strength: Sets the strength (or effective opacity) of the drop shadow.
• Direction: Sets the angle in which the drop shadow is offset from the image.
• Distance: Sets how far the drop shadow shifts from the feature casting it.
• Softness: Sets how defocused the drop shadow appears to be. Higher values produce shadows with softer edges.

Animation Tuning Group

• Ease In: Controls how quickly or slowly the effect amount increases at the beginning of the transition.
• Ease Out: Controls how quickly or slowly the effect amount decreases at the end of the transition.
• View Ease Curve: (Only visible/enabled in hosts that don’t support heads up display widgets for manipulating these controls directly on screen.) Enable this control to display a preview graph of the the animation curves rendered into in the composite window.
