Clock-wipe repeats when prolonged in Premiere Pro 2025

[Gustav R Larsson]

Hello community.

I wanted to add a pie chart-clock appearing during the length of a 12 min clip in Premiere Pro 2025. I thought the clock-wipe was the ticket but when i lengthen the transition time it just repeats the short transition ad infinitum. Not sure if bug or feature (as with many removals and changes in newer premiere pro) but who would even whan that? I doesn't make any sense. I know people was making these with radial wipes before but that doesn't seams to work either

I did find a solution on youtube involving a circle with a mirrored rectangle mask and a rotational keyframe which works brilliant but is a bit of hustle to make. Why not just change the duration of the clock-wipe?

Can you post a screenshot of your timeline and a video showing what is happening?

Hi @Gustav R Larsson 

Thanks for the message. Welcome to the forums. If you have time, please give the team a few more details. See: How do I write a bug report?

I made a mock-up of the process. In the first picture we se the middle of the clock-wipe transition on the overlay circle. The whole transition is 0.25s

In the second picture the transition is streatched to 3s. The transitions isn't prolonged but repeats for the same 0.25s throughout the 3 seconds. When I tried it again the picture even became corrupted.

Cool. That made it worse

Hi @Gustav R Larsson,

Thanks for the post and all the screenshots. Welome to the forum!

I tried to reproduce your issue. First hurdle; I don't have access to a PC at my home office to test this today. The effect is not included on macOS. I'll have to check with my colleagues at the lab.

I did try the same technique with a wipe transition, which should behave similarly to the clock wipe. It worked as expected and as the click wipe should have worked. It could either be a bug or expected behavior. The product team is on the case, though. I hope we can get some answers for you shortly. 

I wouldn't mind seeing the video tutorial where you learned the alternate technique. That might interest the community. If you have a moment, may we have that link?

I apologize for the hassle of having to perform more advanced steps for the same result.

Thanks,
Kevin

@Gustav R Larsson @Kevin-Monahan,

I tested on Win 10, but I am in PR Beta 25.3.0.20.

My system was set to 30 frame default. The clockwipe comes in correctly and plays correctly. If I increase it even to 1:15 (my clip/sequence is 30fps), the image breaks up so badly I can't tell  if it is repeating or what. I get similar results for other wipes, except or hardware accelerated (perhaps).

No idea what is going on.

Hi @Kevin-Monahan 

The method that I used to duplicate the clock-effect is described in detail in this youtube video
