Wipe With Borders

Autodesk Smoke Tips & Tricks - Wipe with Borders

The first time i using smoke, i was very surprised that it can't do wipe with border. Border wipe is a very basic tool, even adobe premiere ver1 10 years ago can do that. Of course you can do it in DVE, but why not a preset one.
Since it can't do it, we have to DIY. Here's how to do the border wipe in timeline, it quite easy and flexible. First, do a normal wipe in timeline.

After that, create an empty layer above.
Copy the 'to clip' together with the wipe to the empty layer.
Then create 1 frame color clip (if you not sure what color to use, just use grey, and change it in cc later), and select the 'to clip' at below layer, hit 'Replace'.
To see the border wipe, push the above layer together with the wipe a bit later in timeline. You can ON the 'link transition' and 'link cut', then just drag the top layer to right to control the width of ther border.
Now, you can add the softness, change the pattern, twist it easily in timeline.
Using the same techniques, you can add multiple borders with different color or fill, even different wipe pattern, just add more layers and delay each layer a bit to the right.
