transitions

I am now using PE10 but it doesn't have the "sphere" transition. My last version was 7 and it had this transition. Is there a way to somehow
copy or import it into PE10? or is the sphere transition available from some other source?

The Sphere transition is one of the GPU effects. GPU effects were removed in Premiere Element 9 and 10 and you can't copy the one from PrE 7, it won't work. I'm not aware of any equivalent 3rd party filter for Premiere Elements. You could always keep PrE 7 installed and use it to make the transition using sub-clips and export it for use in PrE 10. The different versions will co-exist.

Wonder why they took it out. Anyway, thanks. PRE version 7 doesn't like Win 7 on my computer so I had to remove it.

Pure speculation here, but when I was running PrE8, the GPU transitions crashed my ATI graphics card everytime. I spent ALOT of time corresponding with Adobe support on this. Once I removed the 5 GPU transitions, no more crashes. Later, when I changed my card to Nvidia, I put them back in and they worked just fine. so maybe Adobe took them out of 9 and 10 because too many people had conflicts with their non-nvidia graphics card?

Quite possible, thanks for the great additional info Marg

When all I had was Intel integrated graphics, I couldn't use the GPU effects. Then I installed an NVidia graphics card and the GPU effects worked. But then Adobe took out the GPU effects. Now if I want a sphere effect, I resort to Wax from DebugMode, or other 3rd party software.
