Clock Wipe From Nothing?

I'm looking to bring a bit of logo onto the screen and it suits itself to a clock wipe. But I'm not looking to "transition" it on. I just want to wipe it on. In other words, I am not coming from another source, so I am not being allowed to use a transition.
Do I have to put up a dummy clip (like a CG with no text, or something) in order to wipe this on?
Thank you for advice and ideas!

Yeah, you'd want to build a mask, or a text box with nothing in it and that would work (or should, not knowing exactly what you're looking for)

Why not just use black?
Create it using generated media.

Just dropping the Clock Wipe transition on to a fade up does it.

depending on if you want to apply this to multiple layers of video.

You can just take all the tracks that you want to apply it to and make them children of a blank track. Then take that blank track, and put a solid white color from the generated media, and change the parent track properties to be multiply mask, then just make a fade in for as long as you want the clock wipe transition to be, and drop the transition on there.

A fade in... I didn't think of that.
I used blank text media and that worked swell.
But thanks for the ideas! Hopefully I'll keep them in this leaky brain of mine.
Thanks again!

I do the same thing a lot, and I just use a solid color set to fully transparent for the "lead in" media.
