and then clicking the north-to-south triangle in the Effect Controls panel
(shown here).
9 Apply the Wipe transition (Wipe bin) between the second and third clips.
Three new options appear: Border Width, Border Color, and Anti-aliasing
Quality.
10 Change Border Width to 20.
11 Click the upper-left direction triangle to change the direction to northwest
to southeast.
12 Change the border color by clicking the Border Color swatch, and choose white.

smoothness of the edges of the transition.
14 Select the Iris Round transition in the Iris bin, and apply it at the end of the last
clip. Notice that when you drop a new transition on top of an old transition, it
replaces the old transition.
This transition has a new option: a small positioning circle.
15 Select the Reverse option to make the iris closed rather than open.
16 On the End Preview screen, move the End slider to the left a little bit so you can
see how the transition will look just before it completely closes.
