Before and After Wipe P04

P04 · Proof · intermediate · 2–7s
Two aligned real visuals share the frame while a clean divider line sweeps across, revealing the after state over the before, then rests on a split.
The before image fills the frame; a thin divider with a handle sweeps across it and everything behind the line becomes the after image, at identical framing. The wipe can travel in any direction and settle at a split position so both states stay visible side by side. Because the two images are pixel-aligned, the eye sees only what actually changed.

Best used for
- — Design or photo edits
- — Renovations and makeovers
- — UI redesigns
- — Colour grading or retouching results
Assets
- ● Before & after pair required
- ○ Source video optional
- ○ Sound effects optional
Pairs well with
If assets are missing
If only one image exists, or the two are not aligned (different angles/zoom), do not fake the missing state or morph one into the other. Use a simple side-by-side or sequential cut with clear labels instead, and flag that a true wipe needs matching framing.
Accessibility
Keep the wipe slower than 0.5s so motion-sensitive viewers can follow it, label both sides with text (not colour alone), and describe the key difference verbally.
Individual prompt
updates with the parameters above# CES style instruction — P04 Before and After Wipe You are an experienced motion designer and video editor working in Claude Code. Apply the **P04 Before and After Wipe** technique to the supplied footage as specified below. **B. Project configuration:** 1080×1920, 9:16, 30 fps · Source video: not provided — ask the user for the path before starting · Video language (on-screen text & captions): English **Proof** — The before image fills the frame; a thin divider with a handle sweeps across it and everything behind the line becomes the after image, at identical framing. The wipe can travel in any direction and settle at a split position so both states stay visible side by side. Because the two images are pixel-aligned, the eye sees only what actually changed. ### P04 Before and After Wipe - **When:** ≈ 00:00.00 → 00:03.50 (≈ derived — adjust to the nearest natural beat in the footage) - **Layer / track:** V2+ (overlay above the picture) - **What it does:** Two aligned real visuals share the frame while a clean divider line sweeps across, revealing the after state over the before, then rests on a split. - **Parameters:** Before/after files: (not set); Wipe direction: Left → right (vertical divider); Resting divider position: 50%; Wipe duration: 1.4 s; Easing: Ease in-out (smooth); Before label: "Before"; After label: "After"; Divider colour: #F4F2EB - **Steps:** 1. Load the before/after pair from the project assets (the user's supplied before/after pair; if none is present, stop and ask for it — do not substitute a mock-up) and show it from 00:00.00 to 00:03.50. Both images must be the user's real captures. Use only the supplied material, exactly as captured: do not retype, re-word, re-colour, crop out context that changes meaning, or 'clean up' numbers, names or dates. If anything must be hidden (private handles, emails, order numbers, faces of bystanders), blur or block it visibly so viewers can tell it was redacted. 2. Align them first: same resolution, framing and crop (match by feature points if needed). Scale both identically to cover 1080×1920. Never apply a grade, sharpen or exposure change to only one side — any processing must be applied to both. 3. Stack AFTER above BEFORE and reveal AFTER with a clip mask whose edge travels left to right, from 0% to 50% of the frame width over 1.4s (42 frames) using a smooth ease-in-out curve (cubic-bezier(0.65, 0, 0.35, 1)). It rests at 50%, leaving both states visible. 4. Draw the divider as a vertical #F4F2EB line 0.4% of frame width thick with a 5%-wide circular handle (two small chevrons) at its midpoint, plus a soft shadow so it reads on light and dark images. 5. Label each side — "Before" on the before side and "After" on the after side — in Inter bold, ≈ 3% of frame width, on small pill backgrounds in the corners; each label fades as its side shrinks below 15% of the frame. 6. Hold the resting split for at least 1.5s before the range ends so viewers can compare details; if the speaker walks through differences, keep it on screen for the whole explanation. - **Assets:** Before & after pair (⚠ MISSING) · optional: Source video, Sound effects - **Fallback:** If only one image exists, or the two are not aligned (different angles/zoom), do not fake the missing state or morph one into the other. Use a simple side-by-side or sequential cut with clear labels instead, and flag that a true wipe needs matching framing. **G. Asset integrity and restrictions:** - Do not create or present invented testimonials, comments, quotes, reviews or endorsements. - Do not fabricate numbers, metrics, charts or results. Data visualisations use only the supplied data. - Do not create fake screenshots or UI and present them as real. Illustrative graphics must be clearly illustrative. - Do not attempt unsupported 3D reconstructions or perfect subject separation without a mask; use the documented 2D fallbacks instead. **I. Quality verification:** - Check output dimensions and aspect ratio with ffprobe — they must match the configuration exactly. - Check the output frame rate and that the duration is within ±0.5 s of the target. - Check audio/video synchronisation at the start, middle and end (lip-sync and SFX hits within 1 frame). - Inspect frames at every beat boundary for text clipping, overflow and safe-zone violations. - Confirm the output file exists and plays — never claim a render is complete without an actual output file. - Report any missing asset or unimplemented effect explicitly.
More proof styles
Use proof whenever you make a claim. Every proof style requires authentic, supplied assets — never fabricated ones.
- P01Screenshot PunchA real screenshot drops in over the speaker at a precise scale, lands with a soft overshoot and a deep shadow, holds long enough to read, then clears.
- P02Comment SpotlightOne real comment is lifted out of the feed onto a clean card, the rest of the frame dims, and the key phrase is marked with a highlighter sweep.
- P03Metrics Count-UpA verified number ticks up from a meaningful starting value to its exact final figure in large tabular numerals, with its source label underneath.
- P05Search-to-ResultA search bar types the exact query character by character, a short loading beat follows, and it resolves into the real captured result card.
- P06Receipt StackSeveral real proof captures deal onto the frame one by one, each fully readable before the next lands, building a tidy stack of receipts.
- P07Annotation MarkerA hand-drawn circle, arrow, underline or box draws itself onto the exact part of a real screenshot, with the rest of the image gently dimmed.
- P08Timeline EvidenceA chronological track draws across the frame and real dated events pop onto it one at a time, each with its date label and supporting capture.
- P09Quote Card RevealA supplied quotation is set in elegant type on a card, revealed line by line behind large quote marks, with the author and source fading in last.
- P10App UI BreakdownThe camera zooms from a real full-screen capture into one interface element, dims the rest, and a callout line labels what that element actually does.
