Wipes
A wipe moves a new image over an old image. SMPTE wipes are industry
standard wipe patterns, and include more complex directional wipes, shape
wipes, clock wipes, and matrix wipes.
Reversing a Wipe
To reverse the direction of a wipe, click the Reverse button in the Transition
Tool and create the transition as described in “Adding Transitions to Your
Sequences” on page 165.

With NewsEdit, you can add a border to any wipe or SMPTE wipe. You can
