The line fade transition gets three quarters of the way through, then jumps to the end.

(Try it with a large block of colour on a white page)

It was just what I was after.... have you got a decent version of it?

Thanks, Linda

Hi Linda

I get an uneven fragmented appearance. Then at about the 70% mark, it momentarily stops before proceeding to an uneven finish.

Is that what you mean?

Linda,

Try unzipping and copying the attached jpg into the Transitions/Special Reveals subdirectory of your Opus installation. It has been blurred more than the original so its less distinct which makes it appear smoother - hope its more what you want.

I wonder if anyone can throw some light on this?

I downloaded and unzipped Paul's file into my Transitions/Special Reveals subdirectory.

When I tried to apply it to the test I made for Linda, this reveal did not appear in the list of available transitions.

I checked the subdirectory, and Other06.jpg is definitely there. Then, things became even more interesting. That subdirectory contains 53 files, including Others01 through Others14.

The attachment is a screen shot of all the Special Reveals that appear when I access Transitions > Special Reveals. There are only 32 transitions in the group. Notice that there is only Other01.

I realise that some of the files in the subdirectory are configuration files, but it seems odd that there is this discrepency.

I checked Masked.ini. There are 53 entries, including one which reads:

[38]
Name=Line Fade
Type=GradAlpha
Icon=Special
Offset=31
Mask=Other06.jpg

Is this of any relevance?

While I couldn't see that it was a likely solution, I reset the Opus registry. That made no difference.

Any ideas, anyone?

Hi Ray,

It is the "Line Fade" icon which gets updated by the "Other06.jpg" file.

Thanks Steve

That solves the Line Fade issue.

Any ideas why there are so many "missing" items?

There is nothing missing. The transitions are simply renamed to something a little more constructive than "other" as indicated by the ini file.

As has been pointed out the file I uploaded, updated the "Line Fade" transition which is what Linda asked for. There is no need to do anything beyond unzip it as I described.

Hope that helps clarify things.
