For an example of how to use animation presets to create custom transitions, see
Stu Maschwitz’s ProLost blog. From this page, you
can download the Film Burn animation preset, which adds film-like flicker to layers and adds a film burn transition to the ends of the durations of
layers.
Chris Zwar provides an example project on
uses the Displacement Map effect, the Turbulent Displace effect, the Texturize effect,
and a combination of Blur and Color Correction effects to create a transition in which an image appears as a watercolor image washed onto a
rough piece of paper.
Carl Larsen provides a tutorial on the
that shows how to use the Motion Tile effect to create a whip-pan transition between
two layers.

About Transition effects and the Transition Completion property
All Transition effects but the Iris Wipe effect have a Transition Completion property. When this property is 100%, the transition is complete, and the
underlying layers show through; the layer to which the effect is applied is entirely transparent. You typically animate this property from 0% to 100%
over the time of the transition.
