TMaker-Window
The transition maker creates various predefined transitions between
two animations or images also known as "wipes".
This feature is very useful in conjunction with animation-projects.
It's recommended to install the example-filmstrips which show
two animations (called "A" and "B") and the selected transition
from "A" into "B" (called "A->B") as small animations in the middle
of the Transition-Window. The Filmstrip-Player is implemented as a
background-task at low priority so no cpu-time is wasted.
Because only YAFA-animations can be arranged in animation-projects
only this output-format is supported yet.
Functions::
Input1 Input animation or image 1
Input2 Input animation or image 2
Output Output animation (the transition)
Temp A directory used for the temporary files which will be
created while rendering
CreateEX If you have only the small installation of Wildfire without
transition-filmstrips this button will create them for you.
To test if you have the example transitions just enable
the "Example"-option. After that three animations should
appear in the middle of the window.
If they doesn't you may create them by pressing the
"CreateEX"-button.
YAFAOpts Adjust the YAFA-compressor-options
Preview Turn preview on/off
Example Turn example-movies on/off
Because this features runs at low priority it may be
always switched on.
Type Select the main type of transition
Subtype Select the subtype of the selected transition
CreateTemp Create the temporary files
This files have to be generated only once for a pair of
input-animations. So you can test various transitions very
quickly.
The "Convert"-function creates them automatically if necessary.
KillTemp Deletes all temporary files.
Play Play the animation-sequence "anim1 - transition - anim2"
Convert Create the transition
