Adobe Premiere Elements can use any importable grayscale image as a gradient wipe. In a gradient wipe, the second clip fills the black area of
the grayscale image and then shows through each level of gray as the transition progresses until the white area becomes transparent. When
you create a Gradient Wipe transition, you can specify the softness of the transition’s edges.
