Spent most of last night working on an ALChoon video.

There's no Radial Wipe in Luma Fusion. I'm not sure why. It's a fairly standard effect.
Image A, Clock-style wipe to Image B.

I decided the best way to achieve it would be a black and white mask, so I scrambled a small script together in JSE, and used the screen-recording function (Tap [ bracket to record.. tap again to stop..) to output a linear mask that could be used in the video.

Then I had to faff about in Luma Fusion to import the mask, and set up the other elements around it, so that the mask would act as a transition. It helped immensely that the two elements were almost identical but for lighting, so with a bit of Stencil here, and Alpha there, I was able to get the effect to work live, instead of requiring further export/import steps to do it.

Meanwhile...

Otherwise it was a fairly uneventful day.
I made a start on a PixelPainter tool, but .. So far the results aren't exactly stunning!
But, hey, it's the first day. What can you expect.

So far it can take this..


and turn it into this.


Which, we can all agree, is a bit pants.
Further work required.
