If you’ve ever taken an object, animated it across a video frame and then put a wipe under it to create the effect of the object wiping the frame then you know it isn’t a terrible difficult thing to achieve. But if it’s something you do over and over then some way of automating that would be welcome. That thing would be SupaWipe. SupaWipe produces the object transitions in Final Cut Pro (and Final Cut Express) without any keyframing. And they are customizable with a number of different options. SupaWipe comes from the folks at idustrial revolution and is just one of a number of products that both produce cool effects and make life easier.

You have to install the free FxFactory FxPlug engine to make the free demo work (as well run the full version). All the instruction are available on the Instructions page. Click on over to the SupaWipe site and check the three QuickTime movies that explains how the effect works and see if it is right for you projects.
