FCP X Effect: BG Custom Angle Wipes
BG: Effects in FCP X
“BG Custom Angle Wipes”
This is an FCP X Effect preset.
This FCP X effect preset enables you to add custom angle wipes / masks to your image, not as a transition but as an effect.
Therefore you can choose to animate / keyframe the effect any you like or just use it as a static mask.

There are many different uses for this effect:
– Reveal a layer on over black / background of your choosing
– Create an angled wipe between 2 or more different layers (add a layer on top and apply the effect to this layer)
– Use the preset to wipe / reveal on text or logos
– Use the wipe between 2 of the same clips, one with a colour effect applied, one without, and create a nice blend between the two.
– Use as a colour correction before / after wipe tool when working with clients. (duplicate graded layer, remove grade and add wipe preset)
– Sadly no option in this version to make a good cup of coffee…Apple have not released the API’s for that yet 😉Preset Controls:
– Four built in wipe presets: From Top Right, From Top Left, From Bottom Right and From Bottom Left
– Wipe amount control
– Wipe softness / falloff control
– Small refinement of wipe angle
– Reposition / Rescale the image within the masked areaScreenshots:

Nice idea – will be very useful.
Here’s something similar I was playing with:
Two related effects for shaping the lighting of an image, one for darkening the edges and the other for lighting up a “spotlit” area, with options for blur and glow.
