ORIGINAL CONVENTIONAL WIPE RECIPE Prepared source A and B:768by432,24fps,48frames each,silent Concatenate A then B into a96frame hard-cut control Add a768by432 opaque black color input at24fps FFmpeg overlay horizontal expression: if(lt(n,24),-w,if(lt(n,44),(n-44)*w/20,if(lte(n,51),0,if(lt(n,72),(n-51)*w/21,w)))) Overlay vertical position:0 Overlay shortest:1 Output:96frames at24fps,libx264 medium CRF18,yuv420p,faststart,noaudio The overlay filter frame counter is local to that filter. The scoped report checks decoded output frames47and48, rather than treating expression values as a substitute for inspecting the output. The comparison scales each variant to640by360 and adds an original label strip. No learned model or commercial editor was tested. This is an authored full-frame wipe to conceal the cut, not an automatic cut-quality detector.
