Configuring
Transition settings are specified at the Elements tab in object properties.
In the Elements tab, select the object and manually enter “wipe_1” into the Wipe row of Mix In/Mix Out fields.
- Type – transition type.
- Cut – default value, no effect.
- Fade – smooth appearing (so-called mixer); specify transition duration in frames in the Dur field.
- Wipe is the Gradient Wipe effect, using the full screen static picture with a transition template. Object transparency will be changing during the transition duration specified in the Dur field. The sequence of changing the object transparency will be maintained: from the template darkest areas, with a smooth transition to lighter ones.
- Local Wipe – scales the transition template to object current sizes. Using this mode is convenient in case if an object is small: in this case a full screen transition may not give the necessary visual effect.
- Dur – transition effect duration in frames.
- Wipe – selecting a wipe template. Manually enter the template name specified in the list of the General tab.
To view effects in the editing window, activate the Preview fade ins/outs button 
in the graphics editor Top menu. Use the scrolling area.
