New in Beta: GPU Accelerated Iris Transitions

I like them, thanks very much. One thing I see, is the border width, the change does not occur until the mouse is released, it would be much better to see the change as you go.

Something inside me says there are some other things like this, (even as big as the empty properties/ecp until something is selected). So, I hope this is not the way forward.

thanks again.

Hi @eric escobar ,

Always great to see things being moved over to GPU for typically much faster rendering.

I have some feedback/thoughts a bit separate from GPU implementation specifically.

Did the team ever consider consolidating and expanding existing tools?

Consolidation:

With this I mean e.g. remove all 4 Iris effects and consolidate them into an Iris Transition effect where the type would be chosen on the transition itself in a dropdown menu. The same could be done for a lot of other effects which could drastically reduce effect amount without removing creative freedom. The benefit of that approach would be to have more freedom to add more types of such a group without worry making the effects list even longer and potentially overwhelming/confusing for new users.

Another good example of this would be creating a 'master' Blur effect for Gaussian, Box/Fast, Radial, Lens, Directional etc. Or put the many many 'wipe' effects together.

Expanding:

In the context of Iris a really common desire would be to have an extra slider to add edge feather to the mask. But the same could be said for many of the other transitions as well.

Another really lacking part right now would be to control the transition curve for all video transitions. A system similar to the new audio crossfade would be very welcome.
