Where is the Clock Wipe?

[Thongrrrl14]

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?

[Jon-M-Spear]

Type "clock" into the effects panel serach box.

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

[Thongrrrl14]

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.

[Jon-M-Spear]

Very strange...

[Ann Bens]

Maybe its a Windows thing only.

[Jon-M-Spear]

Which is a Windows thing - with or without?  My screen grab is Windows.

[Taverino]

This is from my Windows system:

I can also confirm there are only 4 Wipe transitions on my Mac system

[Ann Bens]

Yes that is what I meant a Windows only.

There is a list somewhere floating around with transitions/effects windows vs mac

This conversation also took place regrading CS5.

Seems like there is a reason for having fewer transitions on a Mac, but having a reason is not going to make Mac people any happier.Check out post #16 in that thread.

I also have a Mac, and I have the list of four.

you must have a pc, not a mac.

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.

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.

This is the "old" list: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/460313?tstart=1470

I have not bookmarked anything newer.

I am of the same mindset. Butt-cut, Dip-to-Black, and Cross-Dissolve are about all that I use.

However, on a PC, there are a few times, when one does need something else, and I rely on Pixelan's Spice Master for most of those.

PS - there was a running joke in this forum, about an editor ONLY being able to use "Page Curl" once, and then it should self-destruct. I used Page Curl for one particular Project, so I expended all my uses of that Transition, long ago.

[DOPFawn]

I agree 99% of the times. I hate cheesy, but today I feel a clock wipe would be appropriate. I'm editing a focus group video and I think a clock wipe would let the viewer know we've jumped ahead through time.

Come on Adobe! Bring on the cheezy clock wipe!

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.

[Brocatus]

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.

[rickwreed]

search "radial wipe"

[jmabela]

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:)

[paullovelifebaby]

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

[wgzn]

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.

[Ann Bens]

Use the Radial Wipe instead.

[kaya27276026]

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.
