Create an Image Mask transition
You can use a black-and-white bitmap image as a transition mask. The first clip replaces the black area in the image,
and the second clip replaces the white areas in the image. If you use a grayscale image for the mask, pixels containing
50% or more gray convert to black, and pixels containing less than 50% gray convert to white.
Apply an Image Mask transition
1 In the Tasks panel, click Edit, and then click Transitions
.
2 From the menus in the Transition view, select Video Transitions from the first menu, select Special Effects from
the second menu, and locate the Image Mask transition.
3 Drag the Image Mask transition to a cut between clips in the Timeline.
4 In the Image Mask Settings dialog box, click Select Image.
5 Locate and select the image file you want to use as a transition mask, and click Open. The image appears in the
