Hi,

Thanks for reading. I am trying to show a moving line on a map.

I thought the easiest way to do that would be to have to pictures of the same map, put the line on the overlay picture and transition it in with a wipe from left to right.

It works great accept for the wipe is not really transparent, there is a grey vertical blur that moves with the transition's wipe.

Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I searched the forum and cannot find anyone trying this.

Thanks,

Joel

Take a look at this tutorial from Smarter Turtle and see if it solves your problem.

Use images with traces and transparent background.
If you are good at drawing by hand, use Pip Designer to create the lines

Thanks AVTrace,

The map I am using takes up the entire frame so no background to make transparant (unless I am missing your point). Not sure how to use traces for this. Seems like I should not have a grey blur though. Do you know of another transition that does not have this "greyness"? I will try Pip Designer, but I prefer a nice crisp, perfect line.

Thanks for your help. I just figured it out. The Wipe transition I was using had a blurred edge. I finally found the "Wipe" without the blurred edge and that resolved the problem.

Thanks,
