S_DissolveStatic Transitions between two input clips using random pixel static. The Dissolve Percent parameter should be animated to control the transition speed. The pixelated look of this effect depends on the image resolution, so it is recommended to test your final resolution before processing. In the Sapphire Transitions effects submenu. Inputs: Foreground:  The current layer.   Starts the transition with this clip. Background:  Defaults to None.   Ends the transition with this clip. If this input is not provided, a fully transparent background is used, showing whatever is behind it.

Parameters:

Transition Dir:   Popup menu,  Default: Dissolve Off to Bg.
Selects the direction of the transition.

Dissolve Off to Bg:  transitions from the current layer to the Background.

Dissolve On from Bg:  transitions from the Background to the current layer.

Auto Trans:   Popup YES-NO,  Default: No.
If enabled, a transition is performed automatically between the first and last frames of the layer. If this is off, the transition is performed manually by animating the Dissolve Percent parameter.

Dissolve Percent:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 to 100.
Auto Trans must be disabled for this parameter to be used. It determines the transition ratio between the Foreground and Background inputs, and would normally be animated from 0 to 100 to perform a complete transition. The curve controlling this parameter can be adjusted for more detailed control over the timing of the dissolve.
