There seems to be a lot of downloadable stuff for everything else so why not transitions?

There is. You have to pay for it, like New blue transition pack. Visit their site http://www.newbluefx.com/products/transitions

Another alternative I personally find to be much better & cost effective are Pixelan plugins when it comes to amazing transitions: http://www.pixelan.com/cyberlink-plugins.htm

Try the
3D Six-pack
Dissolve Master &
Spice Master (regular or Pro version)

You can also drop each one on your Titles (not just video clips) and they will give your Title clips a cool effect.

Yes I know they are not free - but they are not that expensive either.

Thank you all. That'd be nice to see free downloadable transitions in the future.

You can make your own using a grey scale image.
Pixelan transitions offer a fantastic choice in options and manipulation.

Hi Dafydd you mention using grey scale images for transitions, is there a way to manipulate the transition already found in Powerdirector 12?

cheers I just want to edit and make pictures, walk my dog and go fishing.

Hi Kyle 40,
Just go to,
C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector12\AlphaTransition

1. You can duplicate the default Alpha images and alter in an image editor.
1-1. I suggest you save the manipulated png file away from the Program Files and import it in as a second action.
2. You just have to import a greyscale png into the above location when PDR12 is closed for the program to see the file when opened.
2-1. The drawbacks are - the file naming within PDR12.
2-2. The display is basically a 2D wipe.
3. You can easily make your own Alpha transitions by simply greyscalling an image using an image editor and then saving to a png.
4. The frame size isn't ridged - so you have quite a bit of manipulation available to you.
5. Create a "Custom" location in Transitions and drag the Alpha's you make or alter into them..
6. Greyscale png files are the ones to make - make these from jpegs etc.
7. As a final thought. Editors here can share the Alpha Transitions they make and that would be an answer to the OP's original needs.
Have fun.

Dafydd
