Iris
Cross, Diamond, Oval, Point,
Rectangle, and Star
These effects are similar, but have different shapes. They all create
the impression of an iris, which contains the first clip, opening to
reveal the second. In each iris effect, you can specify the center
point around which the opening is defined and feather the edges,
which blends the edges of the clips together and gives a
diffused iris.
Map
Channel Map
Maps channels from the first and second clip, or fills the channels
with black. You can invert individual channels.
Luminance Map
Maps color using the luma of a clip.
Page Peel
Page Peel
Peels the first clip away to reveal the second clip. You can adjust
the appearance of the peel.
QuickTime
QuickTime includes a set of built-in video effects listed here, some of which are implementations of
standard effects defined by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE).

Channel Compositor
Combines two images using the alpha channels of the images to
control the blending. It provides the standard alpha blending
options and can handle pre-multiplying by any color, although
white and black are most common and often run faster.
Chroma Key
Combines two sources by replacing all the pixels of the first source
that are the specified color with the corresponding pixels of the
second source. This allows the second source to show through the
first. This appears to put the second clip behind the first clip and
make the selected color transparent.
Explode
The second clip grows from a single point, expanding outward
until it entirely covers the first clip. The center point of the
explosion is defined in the effect parameters.
Gradient Wipe
Uses a matte image to create a transition between two source
images. The transition from the first clip to the second clip occurs
first where the matte image is darkest, last where the matte image
is brightest.
Implode
The first clip shrinks down to a single point, revealing the second
clip. The center point of the implosion is defined in the effect
parameters.
Iris
The first clip opens like an iris to reveal the second clip.
Matrix Wipe
These are a series of matrix reveal type effects that take place
between two sources.
