This tutorial focuses on use of a transition effect from the Shape Wipe Gallery. Vitascene is used as a plug-in to video editing software (e.g. Avid Liquid).
Double click on the Vitascene Transition in the Timeline (appearing in grey between the clips), Vitascene will start, the video material from the video editing software will appear in the preview window.
Choose a suitable transition from the Filter Templates (e.g. Sparkle Circle Wipe #46). A playback with the selected transition will appear in the Vitascene preview window in real time. Video A is faded into video B. Of course, you can modify the transition in Vitascene to suit you.
Now go to the Timeline beneath the preview window, stop playback and place the slider in the position of your choice.
Leave the Beginning Key frame with its original settings, as the fade out is no longer visible in the preview window and the process should start from zero (centered).
Now go to the lower section of the Templates dialogue box, where there are 3 folders (Impression, Location and Filter).
Select the following settings in the Impression folder, in relation to the Key frame positioned during the course of an animation:
A/B Sharpness = 150%
Opacity = 30%
There will be no settings in the Location folder, as the position of the circle remains centred.
In the Filter folder select the following settings for the Sparkle effect.
Length = 10
Highlight-Threshold = 60%
Erosion-Threshold = 30%
and Orientation = 30%
This will create the following preview for the 2nd Key frame. Start the preview to look at the effect with the help of the Play button.
Parallel to the circle (template) additionally placed rays (Sparkle) are visible.
No new Key frames will be set, unless you enter the first setting in one of the Impression, Location or Filter folders, in relation to the current position in the Timeline.
Select the following settings in the Impression folder, in relation to the Key frame positioned during the course of an animation:
A/B Sharpness = 160%
Opacity = 40%
There will be no settings in the Location folder, as the position of the circle remains centered.
In the Filter folder select the following settings for the Sparkle effect.
Length = 10
Highlight-Threshold = 80%
Erosion-Threshold = 30%
Glow-Intensity = 100%
Orientation = 60%
and reduce flicker = 70%
This will create the following preview for the 3. Key frame. Start the preview to look at the effect with the help of the Play button.
Parallel to the enlarged circle (increased by the time passed since the 2nd Key frame) a greater number and more powerful rays (Sparkle) are visible.
The End-Key frame is not modified any further as it is no longer visible (at this point in time the circle has gone beyond the visible area of the preview window).
This completes creation of the Shape Wipe transition effect (as the basis for Sparkle Circle Wipe #46). Simply return to Avid Liquid using the F12 key or by clicking on the symbol.
