How to include new images in the 'Shape Wipe' Transition of Cinelerra CV


By default Cinelerra-CV stores Shape wipe images in

$prefix/lib/cinelerra-cv/shapewipe

($prefix is the location of your Cinelerra-CV, that is usually /usr for precompiled packages and /usr/local for a compiled program).

The transition must be configurated to use a specific image. To specify the image to use right-click on the transition icon in the timeline
and select 'Show' from the popup menu to open the 'Shape Wipe' dialog. To change the shape in the Shape text field, click on 'Browse'
and select a new image. The last image specified will be the default one for the next transition.

New images can be placed in any location. Use the 'Browse' button to browse your files and specify the new location.
