Encyclopedia > Clock wipe

In video and film editing the clock wipe is a wipe that sweeps a radius around the center point of the frame to reveal the subsequent shot, like the sweeping hands of an analog clock. Because of this similarity, it is often used to indicate that time has passed between the previous shot and the next shot. George Lucas uses it this many times in the Star Wars series.
