OmniWipe - Frei0r Transition Plugin for Kdenlive

A frei0r-based, versatile directional wipe transition plugin for Kdenlive. It serves as a flexible tool for wipe transitions with adjustable direction, easing, colored bar, and content-aware optimizations.

Features

• Limit Range to Clips: Content-aware toggle
  • ON: Detects non-transparent areas in both clips and restricts the wipe area to their bounding rectangle.
  • OFF: Wipes the entire frame.
• Direction Axis + Wheel: Base axis (0°, 90°, 180°) combined with wheel offset for wipes in any angle.
• Speed Curve (%): Controls acceleration/deceleration using power-law easing. Higher values create stronger non-linear timing.
• Gentle Arrival (%): Adds smooth slowdown at the end. It switches between 2 mechanisms depending on the Speed Curve's state.
  • When Speed Curve is 0%: Acts as reverse curve for fast start + deceleration.
  • When Speed Curve is used: Expands a 'deceleration zone' from the clip's end. The wipe will start to slow down as the playback enters this zone. At 100%, the entire clip is under Gentle Arrival's control.
• Border Type: None (simple wipe) or Bar (traveling colored bar with width and HSV color controls).
• Border Blur: Blurs the border (including the bar).
• Invert: Swap incoming and outgoing clips.
