with transition ending ATL transition early

[WildBill]

I'm trying to create a new transition using ATL similar to the default Pixellate transition, but using a blur instead. What I have is this:

Code: Select all

transform blur(duration=1.5, radius=200.0, new_widget=None, old_widget=None):
    delay duration
    old_widget
    events False
    easeout (duration * 0.45) blur radius
    new_widget with Dissolve(duration * 0.1)
    pause (duration * 0.1)
    easein (duration * 0.45) blur 0.0
    events True

The idea being that for 45% of the duration, the blur ramps up, then for 10% of the duration it fades from the old scene to the new, then the last 45% has the blur ramping down again. The first two of these things work, but when the dissolve is complete the blur snaps back to zero immediately, without doing the second ease. What is it that I need to do to make this work?

Not having an answer for the problem, other than not using the dissolve like this. On the other hand, I found that you should change your radius/blur value to integer, not float. Float creates a strange flickering effect on my end when the transition finishes. Also your duration time doesn't add up to 1.0 including the pause, so the blur should happen in 40% time, not 45%, right? Not including the dissolve this works fine on my end:

Code: Select all

transform blur(duration=1.5, radius=200, new_widget=None, old_widget=None):
    delay duration
    old_widget
    events False
    easeout (duration * 0.45) blur radius
    new_widget
    events True
    pause (duration * 0.1)
    easein (duration * 0.45) blur 0

The pause is needed because changing the widget with another transition doesn't pause the ATL by itself. The main ATL runs parallel to the dissolve, it doesn't wait for it. I figured out one way to make it work using a MultipleTransition, but it feels inelegant, I'd still like to know if there's a better way to stop the inside transition ending the outside one early.

Code: Select all

transform blur(duration=1.5, radius=200, fade=0.3, new_widget=None, old_widget=None):
    delay duration
    old_widget
    easeout (duration * (1-fade)/2) blur radius
    new_widget with MultipleTransition([False, Dissolve(duration * fade), True, Pause(duration * (1-fade)/2), True])
    pause (duration * fade)
    easein (duration * (1-fade)/2) blur 0
