Dear citizens of the forum:)
I would like to ask about VFXFlash Transition Volume 1, is it worth buying or not? Anybody using them?

First I don't have VFX Flash transitions. They do look nice, however there are numerous transitions available already with VS, some being very similar to those with VFX.

I use very few different transition effects. My primary is the cross-fade, then just a hard cut. I may on rare occasions use one of the others just for a special effect. They are nice to play around with, but for the actual product, I choose not to use them, so this is just my opinion, to me they would not be worh the money. However if having a large variety of transition effects is what you are after then, yes they would be.

Tnank you Vidoman for your respond on my question. I'm not using alot of transition effects too, but I'm just looking white transition effect something like "overexposed" video frame. Maybe I can create this effect myself? Maybe much better to create this effect without buying a 130 transition and save money for something usefull:):)
Do you know any tutorial how to do this effect? Again thank you for your help.

What it appears you are describing would be similar to what Charlie Hill in his fantastic book "Getting Results with VS9 or MSP8" calls a camera flash effect. This is really quite simple to do.

With 2 clips in the timeline, insert a white color clip in between them. Then insert 2 Cross-Fade transitions, 1-between the first video clip and the white color clip, and 1- between the white color clip and the second video clip.

Set the duration for the Cross-Fade Transitions to 15 frames, then set the duration for the white color clip to 1 second. OR

You can drop 2 white color clips into the timeline, the sequence would be: Video#1, 15 frame Cross-Fade Transition, White Color Clip 1-duration 15 frames, White Color Clip 2-duration 15 frames, 15 frame Cross-Fade Transition, Video Clip#2.

You can play around with the durations and sequences to get your own special transition effects.

Thank you Vidoman for providing with the realy simple solution.
Shame to say, I have Charlie's book "Getting result with VS9":):), but sitting on my bookshelf:). I promise I'll read:):)
Thank you!
