The only free transitions of which I am aware are the Burger transitions, which are excellent. There are around 24 or so of them and they can be downloaded from http://www.burgers-transition-site.de/d ... kages.html Installation instructions can be found on the site.

There are a variety of other commercial packages which each contain several hundred transitions, many of which are similar to those in the Ulead pack, but some which are rather more interesting and well executed. These include CanopusFX (www.canopus.com) which costs about US$49 if I recall correctly. You require a special plug-in for Ulead to get them to work, but I have them and some are excellent. Another package I have is Adorage which have some truly spectacular transitions. In effect there are around 9 Adorage packages, each costing around US$50, though for all but package 8 and 9, you have to buy separately the control program for them as well. Have a look at them at www.prodad.com Other members will have their own favourite packages...

As a final comment, though, I should perhaps add a note of caution. Transitions should be used carefully. Look closely at shows on TV or movies, and you will see they use few transitions, often doing just straight cuts between scenes, or at most a cross fade, or fade to black at the end of a scene or the whole movie. Using a never-ending sequence of weird and wonderful transitions in a video editing project can very quickly make your project seem corny, silly and amateurish. One or two well chosen ones, on the other hand, can emphasise a point or mood, and add a touch of professionalism.
