The menu for Shape Wipe that popups when you click on \textit{Show} has several possible choices. First, the \textit{Shape} allows for choosing from the list of shapes as outlined previously either by typing in the textbox, using the down arrow, or clicking on the tumbler down/up arrows.
Next, there is a \textit{Feather} textbox with tumbler arrows or a slider bar to easily change the blending amount. A reset button is conveniently located to the right of the slider bar. There is a checkbox to \textit{Preserve shape aspect ratio} and a \textit{Direction} of \textit{White to Black} or \textit{Black to White} (figure~\ref{fig:star}).

-You can add your own images to the Shape Wipe transition and there are some free ones available to download such as under the \texttt{Video $\rightarrow$ Transitions} pulldown at {\small \url{http://assistcg.com}}.
+You can add your own images to the Shape Wipe transition and there are some free ones available to download
+at {\small \url{http://assistcg.com}} - click on the \textit{Transitions} option under the \textit{Video} pulldown on that site. AppImage does not provide this capability unless you use the workaround as described in the Appendix \nameref{cha:faq_problems_workarounds}.
To include new images in the Shape Wipe Transition, simply copy the file \textit{shape.jpg} or
\textit{shape.png} to the subdirectory \texttt{plugins/shapes} in your \CGG{} directory path. If
you prefer to have a better quality png used instead of the included 90\% jpg version, you can download
-the equivalent png versions at {\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/ShapeWipe\_pngs.txz}}.
+the equivalent png versions at {\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/ShapeWipe\_pngs.txz}}.
You will then need to untar this file, choose the ones you want, and add them to your directory path.
-After an update of \CGG{}, they will have to be restored each time.
+And if that is not enough, you can download another 32 different transitions at {\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/ShapeWipe\_additional.txz}}. One particularly interesting ShapeWipe
+in this set is \textit{Fleur-de-lis-of-Florence}. After an update of \CGG{}, they will have to be restored each time.
