Wipe Transitions
The following XML defines the "wipe" category of transitions in Windows Movie Maker. These are gradual transitions from one scene to another using a distinct edge to "wipe" across the screen. The wipe transitions all use an Animation parameter set to "Wipe".
Following the XML are tables that specify which parameters in this XML can be changed, and which cannot.
