DME Wipes
A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one video image to the next.
There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be selected for a normal transition, and those which can be selected for an independent key transition.
For independent key transitions, see page 35.
Note
To carry out DME wipes requires the
Types of DME Wipe Pattern
The patterns used for a DME wipe fall into two broad classes. Preset patterns: predetermined fixed patterns
User programmable DME patterns: patterns which you can create using keyframe effects
DME wipe execution mode and pattern numbers that can be used
There are two DME wipe execution modes, depending on the number of DME channels available:
Execution mode | Preset pattern numbers | User programmable DME |
| available | pattern numbers |

DME wipe pattern groups
The patterns used in DME wipes fall into the following groups.
For each group (excluding user programmable DMEs), for schematic patterns and numbers, see the appendix “DME Wipe Pattern List” (Volume 2). The black part of the pattern represents the old video, and the white part the new video, with the wipe taking place in the direction of the arrow.
