I have made a custom transition (See attached). My hopes may be beyond the capabilities of PD12. But it never hurts to ask, right?

Question: Is it at all possible to make this a transition that will appear in the Transition Room and use it like the Fade and other built-in transitions that will overlay on the image clips in the timeline and use those images and not the ones used in the attached clip?

I've done searches and I did find the "Sand Transition" but it didn't cover making it a selectable transition in the TransRoom.

I'm a VB programmer, so if there's some "programming" involved, I'm up to the challenge.

Thank you for your time,

Joe

Good job Joe!

You can't turn that into a standard PD transition, but you can easily apply it to other images & clips (as long as they're the same proportions).

What you've effectively done is make a transition like "Swing" with an added zoom.

If you save each image as a PiP Object template, you can drag them to the timeline and use PDR12's Copy/Paste keyframes feature to apply the same motion to any images of the same proportions.

It's the same process (with different motion) Cranston used in making this tutorial - http://youtu.be/qzISpa8WTIE
