Sorry for the late reply, Esther!

I forgot that the Radial “transition” in Premiere isn’t a Video Transition at all, but instead a Video Effect, so you have to work it differently:

To go from Clip 1 to Clip 2, put Clip 1 on V2 and Clip 2 on V1.

Apply the Radial Transition effect to Clip 1 and set a keyframe for the “Transition Completion” parameter to 0 when you want the wipe to start. Make sure the Wipe Direction dropdown is set to Clockwise.

Go forward on the timeline and set another keyframe at 100 where you want the transition to end. You’ll see Clip 2 revealed by the wipe.

Now go to Clip 2, apply the same effect, and set two keyframes at the same times as V1, but make the first keyframe 100 and the second one 0, and set the Wipe direction to Counterclockwise.

Now, as you offset Clip 2 to the right on the timeline, as the V2 wipe reveals V1, the V1 wipe will reveal Clip 2 a bit later, and it will look like a black border on the radial wipe. The more you offset Clip 2, the larger the border.

That was a long way to go to get that effect, and I hope I haven’t confused you! Good luck!

Esther, one way to add a border to a radial wipe is to wipe from your first video source to black (or whatever border color you want), then go up a layer and wipe from “nothing” to your second video source, and offset it to the right a bit. The more you offset it, the fatter your border will be. If it’s a fast wipe, you may only need to offset it a frame.

Hope this helps,

Greg

For everything from down-and-dirty one-offs to full-blown long-form projects, I really like using Red Giant’s Colorista III. Being able to stay within the Premiere app fits better with my clients’ “picture’s not locked until the final render” philosophy, it’s really fast, and can be layered easily with Premiere’s built-in matte tools.

Granted, it’s not a LUT tool, but if you’re dealing with RAW or ungraded S-LOG you can easily load in the LUT of your choice, then tweak using Colorista.

Joe: Paul Jones found an older tablet driver that works better for me here, but it’s not perfect.

I keep a wireless mouse close by for finicky work the tablet won’t handle (and for using the scroll wheel to zoom in and out in the main window of Element3D).

good luck,

Paul! THANK YOU!!! This solves 98% of my Wacom issues! There’s still a little bit of overshooting in the Colorista UI, but scrubbing values and dragging keyframes now work like they’re supposed to!

Now, maybe Wacom can reverse-engineer the old driver and fix the code in future releases.

Thanks again!

Nice, Walter!

If your camera’s focal length is 50mm, a 2D layer shouldn’t change apparent XY position when you make it a 3D layer.

Any other focal length will result in a position change.

best,

The FAQ you link to (and the document IT links to) both date to 2012 and are CS6-specific. I assume the same problem (and its solution) exists in CC?

I get a similar problem in PP 7.2.1 — some audio clips will stutter at the beginning of the clip, 8 or 9 repetitions about a frame apart. Only when queueing the renders out to AME.

Paul, it’s still busted. I even upgraded to an Intuos hoping my Bamboo was the problem. It wasn’t. I keep a cordless mouse nearby for finesse now. VERY frustrating.
