Most transitions have hard edges; that looks bad enough. Avoid the temptation to add a colored border, or you’ll really be traveling back to the days of clunky tapes that were heavier than a MacBook. Instead, try feathering the edges and adjusting the width of the border. In our experience, the client will find the effect far more pleasing.
Want some retro wipes, then try out these:
• Wrap Wipe
• Zig Zag Wipe
