S_WipeDiffuse Wipes between two input clips with a pixel-diffusion process performed within the transition area. The Wipe Amount parameter should be animated to control the transition speed. The pixelated look of this effect depends on the image resolution, so it is recommended to test your final resolution before processing. In the Sapphire Transitions effects submenu. Inputs: From:  Starts the transition with this clip. To:  Ends the transition with this clip.

Parameters:

Wipe Amount:   Default: 0,  Range: -0.5 to 1.5.
Determines the transition ratio between the From and To inputs, and would normally be animated from 0 to 1 to perform a complete transition. The curve controlling this parameter can be adjusted for more detailed control over the timing of the wipe.

Edge Width:   Default: 1.4,  Range: 0.014 or greater.
The width of the transition area. This can be adjusted using the Wipe Widget.

Angle:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
The angle of the wipe direction in counter-clockwise degrees from the right. This can be adjusted using the Wipe Widget.

Diffuse Amount:   Default: 0.2,  Range: 0 or greater.
The magnitude of the pixel diffusion.

Crop Input Parameters:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater.
These 4 parameters, Crop Top, Crop Bottom, Crop Left, and Crop Right, allow selecting a rectangular subsection of the input image to be processed. If the Wrap parameters are set to "No" the exposed borders will be transparent. If the Wrap is "Tile" or "Reflect" the source image is wrapped on the new cropped borders to fill the frame. This can make it easier to avoid artifacts due to distorting an image with bad edges.

Show Wipe: Check-box, Default: on.
Turns on or off the screen user interface widget for adjusting the Wipe Amt, Angle, and Edge Width parameters.
