- 2. Luminance key.
- 3. Key by alpha value.
- 4. Key by hue.
- Invert - Boolean value indicating whether to invert the default operation of the key. If FALSE, pixels in the overlying image are made transparent in the default manner. If TRUE, the operation inverts. Applies To Chroma, Hue, Luminance, Nonred.
- Hue - The hue value on which to key. Valid range: 0...360.
- Luminance - The luminance value on which to key. Valid range: 0...100.
- RGB - The color on which to key. The value is a hexadecimal number with the format 0xRRGGBB, where RR is the red value, GG is the green value, and BB is the blue value (pure red, green, and blue are 0xFF0000, 0x00FF00, and 0x0000FF, respectively).
- Similarity - The range of color data that becomes transparent. At higher values, a wider range of similar colors is transparent. Valid range: 0...100. Applies To Chroma, Nonred.
Fade
Reveals new content of the object by fading out the original content.
- Overlap - The fraction of the transition's duration that both original and new content are displayed. Valid range: 0.0 ... 1.0.
GradientWipe
Reveals new content of the object by passing a gradient band over the original content.
- GradientSize - Percentage of the object that is covered by the gradient band. Valid range: 0.0 ... 1.0.
- WipeStyle - Indicates whether the gradient band moves vertically or horizontally. Valid range: 0...1 (horizontally, vertically).
- Motion - Indicates whether content is revealed as defined by the WipeStyle property setting, or in the opposite direction.
Same as Wipe (DirectX Media) transition.
Inset
Reveals new content of the object diagonally.
This transition does not support any additional features.
Iris
Reveals new content of the object with an iris effect, similar to the opening of a camera aperture.
- irisStyle - The shape of the Iris filter aperture.
DIAMOND - Diamond-shaped aperture;
CIRCLE - Circular aperture;
CROSS - X-shaped aperture;
PLUS - Plus sign-shaped aperture;
SQUARE - Square aperture;
STAR - Star-shaped aperture.

Pixelate
Displays the content of the object as colored squares that take the average color value of the pixels they replace.
- MaxSquare - Maximum width in pixels of a pixelated square. The larger the number, the larger the squares and the coarser the picture. Valid range: 2...50.
The Pixelate transition is a complex visual effect. In the first half of the transition, the content is displayed as expanding pixelated squares. The width of the pixelated squares increases from one pixel to MaxSquare pixels at the halfway point of the transition. The final half of the transition reduces the pixelated squares back to individual pixels, revealing the new content. During this transition, the original content fades into the new content. The fade effect is produced by reducing the opacity of the original content to zero while the opacity of the new content is raised to 100 percent at the same time.

- Orientation - Indicates whether the filter effect is horizontal or vertical. horizontal - Transition lines are horizontal; vertical - Transition lines are vertical.
RandomDissolve
