Card wipe using a gradient for wipe direction
Hi all,
I’d like to take an image (single layer) and do a card wipe to black using the random card flips but I’d like to have it start at the right side and move to the left as it radomly swaps cards.
I have what I want now, it looks like at explosion of cards that fade to black, except I’d like the explosion to move from right to left. I’ve tried using a gradient layer but the flip order won’t change to “gradient” (it stays set at “btm right to top Right”). Maybe I’ve missed a setting but I can’t seem to find in in the help file.
Thanks,
Bill -

Have you tried playing around with the shatter plugin?
I am sure you can tweak and get the look you want.Steve Rhoden

I thought there was a simple setting I missed with card wipe. I reopened the file and now I’m able to select using a gradient, but it still won’t work!
No I haven’t tried shatter, but I’ll give it a try…
Thanks,

Simply set transition completion to 100% then animate it to 0%, the transition will move right to left.

Thanks but this doesn’t work it still gives a random wipe. There is some kind of a built-in expression under “transition completion” controlling this, so I can animate 0 to 100% but it doesn’t make it change directions.
This is the expression:
transComplete = effect(“Card Wipe Master Control”)(“Transition Completion”);
linear(transComplete, 0, 33, 100, 0)However, I did figure it out by using an animated gradient layer that moves from right to left, (I had to disable the built-in expression under “Flip order”) and calling out “gradient” then the layer name. Now it works basically the way I wanted.
Thanks,
Bill
