Transitions - available from third parties?

Running ProShow Gold 3.2.2047

Are third party transition effects available? Specifically I would like a "page curl" effect, and perhaps some others. The ProShow Gold transition library doesn't have a wide variety - mostly variations of the same or similar transitions.

Other than that, ProShow Gold is terrific.

Thanks very much for direction and/or help.

I have not seen any support for third party transitions for either Gold or Producer.
There have been a number of requests for them, but nothing available. You can
get that effect though by exporting your show in Producer as an uncompressed avi
file then using a video editor to do extra stuff. Gold doesn't allow you to create
uncompressed avi files as far as I know.

I don't know how you'd get that particular effect but don't forget that you can construct a pretty wide variety of other transitions. There are a couple examples in the tutorial sections -- this is one --

In addition, there are a bunch of special effects available from Digital Juice (http://www.digitaljuice.com/default.asp?) that could probably be used to build transitions -- I just got a couple packages from them that I want to experiment with but haven't yet done it so I can only say that I expect it to work vice I've done.

Mikey and Dick,

Thanks very much for your prompt replies.

I was hoping for an easy solution but wasn't very optimistic. A year or so ago I contacted a ProShow tech helpline guy and asked if/when they planned to expand their transitions, and he said, that as far as he knew, no one at ProShow Gold viewed the library as important, and there were no plans to improve it.

Thanks again,

-Gary
