DPL PushSlideComp Transitions for ShaderTFX
Posted: 12 Feb 2008 02:07 PM |
Here are a few more miscellaneous transitions using ShaderTFX. Push, Slide and Composite transitions.
A Demo is at DPL PushSlideComp Transitions Demo
An installer is at DPL PushSlideComp Transitions Installer
These are just tweaks to Rehan's PIP transition and Blaine's Transparencies and Composite A add B transitions HLSL code. The tweak to PIP is just to allow Slide In transitions. To Blaine's transitions I added a quarter second fade to the head and tail to curtail abrupt entries and exits. Also, composite is in some weaker strengths in case the composite oversaturates the video.
It's nice to stand on the shoulders of giants .
To use the composites, just split your video (or put two identical images) in the timeline view, then put the composite video in the slot. Mostly overlap the composite video with the prior part, and overlap the suceeding video completely to the first transition. Then put the Composite transition in the first transition section and the ShowB transition in the 2nd transition section. This makes the transition seamless (I think Blaine invented this. It's because you can't overlap videos totally, but you can butt transitions together). You may have to clip the composite video (and/or stretch/shrink the pictures) to get the correct timing lenghts.
As always, you can compose your own XML to vary some of the parameters. Look at the XML file.

The only thing I can say is "WOW!". I really like the push and slide transitions. I already had some, like the one in RehanFX (Cube) and here on the forum (Cube3D) but these are fantastic to.
Why does everybody add the transitions "Show A, Show B"? Because if you have it one time, than you don't have to have it a second time, or am I wrong??
The "DPL Comp A add B**(*)" are nothing special in my opinion. But the transparant transitions make a sort of fade effect that's very nice!

Comp A plus B is often used to overlay video effects over movies or slides. The effects usually have a black background with the effect in the foreground. Neophyte's website gives access to many hundreds of these.
A slight problem is that MM won't allow 100% overlap of a single transition, so you often get an annoying 1 last frame showing of the Effect clip before the B clip starts. This video shows that annoying black flash in the first section, and shows it solved in the second section by using a ShowB transition. I learned this from Blaine.
CompAB ShowB Example Video
Here is a picture of the technique in the timeline view of Movie Maker. A Comp AB transition with a Comp ShowB transition butted back up against it. The gyro splat effect show nicely over the photo with no extra black frame in the movie ala' the second section in the example.
CompAB ShowB Example MM Timeline Composition
ShowA is the same idea but used at the beginning of the effect transitions.

Make sure that you are in the "Timeline' view (not Storyline view). Then you should be able to drag the clips to overlap . Then drag the transition of choice down the the overlapped area.

Hmm, sounds like the *.fx file isn't available. Is it in the Shared folder? Are you on 32 bit Vista? Haven't seen this problem before. I'm traveling but will try to help here.

| i checked my shared folder and i saw the .fx files there, and yea im running a 32 bit Vista computer, I pull the clip over the other clip as much as I can the transition on the bottom says fade so i switch the transition to composing, or dpl transparet etc but it still acts ad "fade" i dont know if its the computer, or something im doing wrong, its possible im doing something wrong, ive never succesfully used this effect ever, but I see people use it all the time in movie maker, so im assuming im just doing something wrong |

Hi,
I am a newbie, so maybe I am asking a dumb question: I do not understand the composite with A & B. Also I do not understand what the B50, TB25 etc, are. I hope you can explain it to me.
Thanks and regards, |

Hi psychedalien
Search this forum on AcompB (or ABcomp)for some discussions.
Basically, A and B refer to the first and second image(video) in a transition pair.
The TBxx transitions are Transparency ones. TB50 puts a 50% transparent B image over the A image. Like a fade half way through. TB25 puts a faint B image over A and TB 75 puts a strong B image over the A image.
A comp B (A composite B) takes the color value of B and adds it to the color value of A. It is particularly useful where a part of one image(video) is black so just the colored part of that image shows faintly on the other image. The number is the intensity of the overlayed B image. This is useful with video clips such as found on Neo's Clip Archive Website.
view post 187762 for a later version of DPL AcompB with clipping and sizing/moving capability.
