Creating more dynamic wipes in Aftereffects

[Greg Baber]

Yes, you could do that with footage, but if you want to create it in AE, Fractal Noise would work well. Play with the settings to get a good look for the footage, then animate the Offset Turbulence to give the appearance of motion. You will want to offset with a high value to get the speed of the original shot.

I couldn’t see what you wanted in the second video – the link didn’t copy over correctly.

Another way to do it – is to take any photo – apply out of focus or another blur, apply levels to make it more contrast, and then move it from the right to the left in 5-10 frames with motion blur applied.

Or you can make an out of focus shot of a night highway, and will have better result for the footage.

Awesome suggestions guys. Thanks a million.
here was a “wipe” I saw too. Not exactly a full wipe. Any ideas?

I think this is an image applied to video with luma matte with motion and edge blur.

Why a night highway? Would it just be the streaking of the lights?

[Andrey Sibiryakov]

Yes, on long exposure, but not on short.
