S_WipeFourWedges Performs a wipe transition between two input clips using a pattern of four wedges merging into an 'X' shape. The Wipe Amount parameter should be animated to control the transition speed. Increase the Border Width parameter to draw a border at the wipe transition edges. 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.

Wipe Direction:   Popup menu,  Default: Wedge In.
Selects the direction of motion of the wedges.

Wedge In:  the wedges contains the first image and shrinks inwards.

Wedge Out:  the wedges contains the second image and grows outwards.

Edge Softness:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater.
The width of the transition edges. Larger values will cause softer, less visible edges in the wipe pattern.

Angle:   Default: 0,  Range: any.

Aspect Scale:   Default: 1,  Range: 0.01 or greater.
Scales the aspect ratio of the wedge pattern. Increase to stretch the shapes in the horizontal direction.

Border Width:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater.
If positive, a colored border is drawn at the wipe transition edges, using the border color, opacity, softness, and shift parameters below.

Border Color:   Default rgb: [0.75 0 0].
The color of the border. This has no effect unless Border Width is positive.

Border Opacity:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 to 1.
The opacity of the border. Decrease to make the border transparent and allow the image under it to show through. This has no effect unless Border Width is positive.

Border Softness:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater.
The softness of the border edges. This has no effect unless Border Width is positive.

Border Shift:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
