Where is the Clock Wipe?

I understand there is supposed to be a Clock Wipe among the Premiere CS6 Video Transitions. All I see among the Wipes is Barn Doors, Gradient Wipe, Inset and Wipe.

Where is that transition hiding?

    Clock Wipe is win-only in CS6.

    To get it on mac you'll need a plugin... or after effects.

    Most people see wipes as cheesy these days, which is why it's hasn't been prioritized high enough (by users) to get it back to the mac in 64-bit. I'm not saying I necessarily agree, but that's why.

    True. I never could find it though, even internally. So I made my own, all scrawled on paper when I was testing for mac/win parity. I would scan it and post it now but people would just laugh. If anyone comes across the real one, please post it here for me. Thanks.

    Is there a plugin created to add Clock wipe to Mac? I've tried to use the radial wipe but it just continues for the length of time, I'm looking for a clock wipe that resets each second. I've VERY new to premiere pro and just trying to figure things out. Any help would be massively appreciated.

    let me see if i understand this correctly.

    clock wipe is no longer included (unless you're on windows. which i think speaks VOLUMES)
    because "most people see wipes as cheesy these days."

    but somehow cube spin, page peel, and cross zoom are still included?
    yeah. that makes COMPLETE sense.

    Use the Radial Wipe instead.

    Radial wipe is an easy answer to this one... works perfect & you are able to keyframe it out to the exact time you need. Ends up the same result as the clock wipe

    thank you!!! Yeah, its cheesy, but for that cute cheesy moment, making marmalade with Grandma and hour passes by.. its perfect for cheap tv.

    Great, work on those priorities Adobe.. like have the playback continue when we skip around the timeline:)

    You *might* be able to make your own clock wipe by using the Gradient tool in photoshop to make a B&W Angle Gradient and using it in Premiere Pro's Gradient Wipe. I have not tried this, so I don't know if it'll work.

    I am on CC and it is still not there.

    I can confirm that this works: make a gradient as shown, make sure image mode is grayscale, and save it as 24bit PNG. When you assign gradient wipe to a transition you get the option to indicate an image.

    I hope the Mac version gets more wipe transitions but I would like to see Adobe add even more transitions with key-framing parameters that make use of the GPU's CUDA Cores.

    Type "clock" into the effects panel serach box.

    You'll find it under Transitions > Wipe > clock wipe

    I have tried typing "clock" in the search box, but it doesn't come up.

    Only four options are avaialable under Transitions > Wipe, as listed above.
