I was looking for more transitions to add to VS10. It appears I found a possible way to do this by going to the Ulead website and choosing the DOWNLOAD link and then choosing the DEVELOPMENT KITS option. I found the "Transition Effect Plug-in" and downloaded it. I opened the zip file and read through the VFX50.doc but was confused by the installation instructions.
Can anyone clarify?
I went to the sub-directory vfx_plug and found a number of files with the .vfx extension. I can tell these are the transitions I already have access to. When I saw this I expected that I would see similar .vfx files in the SDK, but instead there were other files. I went ahead and put these files from the downloaded "Transition Effect.zip" file into my vfx_plug folder, but I don't think I saw any change in the transitions available after re-starting VS10.
Any suggestions on what I should do?

The SDK (Software Development Kit) allows you to write your own transitions in C++. (A "Developer" is a Computer Programmer.) So, you have to know how to write computer programs in C++, and you need a compiler, such as Microsoft Visual C++. (Or, you could probably call the library functions from Visual Basic or Java.)
You might try the free Burger Transitions.1.3 Sample code:
The sample that comes with this development kit is the source code of the dissolve transition effect. Microsoft Visual C++ version 4.1 is recommended to build this sample.

... And if you are prepared to pay, CanopusFX and Adorage (www.prodad.com) both have plug-ins for Ulead products including VS, to be able to use the many (and quite good) transitions in those packages. There are other commercial transitions available, though I don't have them. Others may wish to comment on them.
Adorage comes in 9 packages with between 400 and 1500 transitions in each. They each cost around US$50, as does Canopus FX. I think Adorage packages 8 and 9 come automatically with the plug-in required to get it to work with VS. Otherwise you have to pay separately for the plug-in.
CanopusFX comes with a plug-in for Adobe Premiere, but for some reason Canopus are cagey about the fact that they have a plug-in for VS. If it does not come with the package when you buy it, contact me by email and I can send it to you.
