This effect is an implementation of the 34 wipes from ANSI/SMPTE 258M-1993, plus two Apple-defined wipes that choose a random effect. These are a series of masking or "reveal" type wipes that take place between two sources. For full definitions of these 34 wipes and what they look like, refer to the SMPTE documentation.
The SMPTE effects take two sources and seven parameters.
