Gradient Wipe Transitions for Final Cut Pro

by Bruce Rawles (author of Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook)

Here are the three transition patterns featured in the video above:

Our dear friend (and superb videographer/editor) Claudine Jordan generously donated a bit of her time to assemble a short video showing transition examples of how three of the HD patterns in my Geometric Gradient Wipe Patterns for Final Cut Pro can be used. She (and her colleague Tom Klodin) are in the midst of editing an amazing video featuring Leslie Smith, a young MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter, which I knew nothing about prior to watching a rough draft of their fascinating documentary . The video shows how something as seemingly conflict-oriented as fighting, when practiced by someone whose focus is demonstrating compassion and interconnectedness can (once again) transcend form and reflect kind-spiritedness.

The excerpts from her documentary-in-progress show geometric (gradient wipe) transitions between clips of Leslie in Thailand, and adobe structures and panoramic landscapes of the desert southwest. Now (hopefully) those of you using Final Cut Pro who want to see how these transitions look with real video will have some examples to show how 3 of these transition patterns can be put to good use.

If you use Final Cut Pro® (a registered trademark of Apple Inc.) to do video editing, here are new collections of Geometric Video Patterns (images for gradient wipe transitions). These transitions can greatly enhance your production with visually appealing proportions based on the same principles used by Renaissance master artists; now you can use them with today’s ubiquitous art form – video! Available now in SD (Standard Definition; NTSC 720 x 480 pixels) and soon in “HD” (1280 x 720 pixels) flavors!

By the way, the reason these images are all gray-scale (no color) is that the wipe transition uses only the luminance (brightness) information in the image and not the chrominance (color) information. Here’s an example of images from these pattern sets made with color gradients instead of grayscale:
