Gradient Wipe Transition broken after update to CC 2018

[TBurroughs]

I have several projects that were built in CC 2017/2016 that I still use as templates for ongoing shows. For a few of my titles I was using the Gradient Wipe transition using the default gradient supplied by adobe. After upgrading to CC 2018 and converting these projects this transition no longer seems to work and the default gradient is missing. Creating a custom gradient doesn't seem to work either. When I do that it only applies the wipe to half of the title while the other half just jumps in with a hard cut while the rest wipes in. How can I get the old transition back?

Reproduced that the wipe graphic is missing in 12.0 (CC 2018). This is being investigated. Once I have an update, I will report back.

Thanks for looking into this Trent.

It is still under investigation and I cannot comment on a fix ETA, but I might have a possible workaround using the original .png for Gradient Wipe. Possible workaround is to resize the GRAD.png (sent you link to file) -> Go to Photoshop > Image menu > Image Size, uncheck “Constrain aspect ratio” and set Width and Height to matching Pixels size as your clips and set the Resample dropdown to Bilinear. Click OK, then Save As with default values (should be set to Format: PNG), click Save. Leave PNG Options dialog at default values (Compression = smallest/slow, Interlace = None), click OK. Go to Premiere and open Gradient Wipe Settings > Select Image, select the image you just created, click Open, Click OK. This should match the Gradient Wipe results in 11.1.2 (it did with 1080p footage that I tried)

If this is too involved for you, then I would suggest continuing to work in 11.1.2 for Gradient Wipe work until this issue is addressed. Download Creative Cloud apps

Hello! I'm having the same issue. Can you send me the GRAD.png file, as well? Or post it here for others.

Sorry about that. Here you go. Adobe Creative Cloud

Hi there

I updated and now my film is saved in the newer version and can't be opened in the older version anymore.

Is there a way to open projects saved in the newer version in an older version? I desperately need the gradient wipe tool.

If I set it to 1080, will it work for 720 as well?

I did this work around it is looks like the original before the update, but I need to apply this gradient wipe to 60 different gfx on my timeline, how do I mass-apply the .png? Or am I going to have to upload the .png every single time I apply this transition?

I have that same Problem!  I'm using newest Premiere CC and my Luma Fade don't works like before - nothing happens!

How can I fix this adobe?

[Ann Bens]

This thread is about the Gradient Wipe transtion.

What is the Luma Fade?

[Duke2]

It's the same.

I figured out that when I place the clip inside a Sequence and apply the Gradient Wipe to that sequence everything is working fine.... strange...

Here a Video Tutorial - the transition with Gradient Wipe is called luma fade:

People should not give it a different name other then the original.

There are two different Gradient Wipes in Premiere.

The tutorial is about the Gradient Wipe Effect not the Gradient Wipe Transition.

[Duke2]

Sure the Effect.  I dont know about any transition named "Gradient Wipe"...

But I mean the effect used AS TRANSITION effect which most of the people out there are using for tha purpose.

[Ann Bens]

Might want to check out the Effects Panel.

[Duke2]

Ok maybe I'm talking about the effect and the thread author meant another "Gradient Wipe Transition". I just know the Effect and maybe I had a different problem with the effect but it sound like the author had the same problem, sorry I'm not english native.

Anyways I could fix the issue that the effect "Gradient wipe" was not working  - just put the clip into a sequence and used that "clip sequence" in my primary sequence - applied the gradient wipe effect with keyframes and Whoala - works again.

Before my upgrade to CC 18 this "workaround" was not needed...

[Ann Bens]

sorry I'm not english native.

Nor am I.

Cannot reproduce your issue works as expected.

The Gradient Wipe should now include and auto-locate the required graphic in the 12.0.1 release that was just released.

Same problem here on the iMac (late 2015), Gradient Transition seems to be broken if I use another picture than the standard one.

Funnily in the PC version it works perfectly fine.

[Ann Bens]

Works fine on my mac. Dont remember if it always had a slider.
