Wipe Transitions 

Video Edit Magic provides a host of Wipe Transitions. All wipe transitions change over time. These transitions are sorted into 11 categories so that they can be located and managed easily.

Transition Mask is displayed under the ôGeneralö tab, Scale, Origin and Replicate under the ôDimensionsö Tab and Border Width, Border Smoothness and Border Color under the ôBorderö tab.

Every transition under a wipe transition category is known as a mask. A set of common settings can be specified for every transition. The settings are
