Need help with transition

For the project that I'm working on right now I need a transition that gives the effect of a theatre curtain coming down and then raising before the next scene. Does anyone know where I can either purchase or download this transition?

Do you have an image of a curtain, create one maybe? Even a video of one?

Put it on the timleline on the overlay track and you can manipulate it from there.

Here's how to export the curtain from Photoimpact if you want to cut any extras around the curtain such as the floor. Works as well in PS but the directions for exporting it from there will be different.

Have a look at Adorage. They offer exactly what you need. For a fair price.

I downloaded the Adorage All Plugins Collection, but when I open up the adorage transition I only have two folders and they are blank ("Root" and My own effects") there are no other transitions or effects listed below like in the examples they have in the user manual. Do you know what I did wrong?

jamescbruce,
This may not be what you want, but it is a quick way. Take any picture of flat cloth, sheet or even a curtain. Then place image on opposite track of your video, either va or vb track and refer Burger's curtain transition arrow to it. This transition creates 3D bend as the curtain is veiled and unveiled. Just a thought.

Here's the Burger transition site:
