EDIT Transition (Gradiant Circular) Effect

bryan-b wrote on 1/31/2026, 6:55 AM

Hi guys !
So, my problem is, i want to make a simple transition with the basic gradient circular one.
But when i apply it, the transition make it on the center of the video, not where i want (like on this screen)
So i wonder, is it possible to change the point of the transition for it to start right there for exemple ?

As far as I know, you cannot reposition a gradient wipe, but you can create your own using any graphic program. This graphic is used to wipe from fhe lower left. I created it in Photoshop. If you don't know how to use it, I can maybe provide a quick tutorial video.

Even if i use PS, idk how it would fix my problem here buddy...
I mean this is not the problem right there, i want (if possible) to make the wipe begin FROM the "+" formed by my graphic.

@bryan-b Take a look at the Star Wipe transition with following settings:

Oh thanks, that's a good start !
But the result is pretty far from what i've wanted to make at first...
Why couldn't we make the same thing directly from a circle transition gosh...

 Difference?

Well, that's weird cause it's not the same here...
As you can see, the result is kinda different, the fade-in insn't in circle and on the right place even if with the mark on the right place, maybe there's something i don't notice.. ?

@bryan-b Why do you put the transition on an event on an upper track?

To me it looks like an transparent event on the upper track!

@bryan-b GL Transitions which are designed to be editable may be a better starting point for you. I've only tinkered with them myself but the master-thread on it is here:

Ok thanks, i found it !
Now i just have to find the code for the basic wipe circle i want, i guess...

As far as I understand this thread, the issue of OP basic wipe is the soft/feather border.

but I might be wrong.

>which GL Transition is editable
In my case I was considering writing a custom GL transition, not editing an existing one

Is this close to what you want?

Yeah, pretty exactly !
The same effect, maybe i would change the center point and the fade% but that's okay !

DMT3 wrote on 2/1/2026, 2:57 PM

This is using the technique and graphic I provided earlier in this post but you blew it off.
