GPU-accelerated transitions
Adobe Premiere Elements comes with many GPU-accelerated transitions, including Card Flip, Center Peel, Page Curl,
Page Roll, and Sphere. You can find all of them in the GPU Transitions menu in the Transitions view.
These transitions take advantage of the added video processing capabilities offered by video display cards that have
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) chips. These display cards help with graphics acceleration, so transitions can be
previewed and rendered more quickly than by the CPU alone. If you have a display card that supports DirectX 9.x,
Pixel Shader (PS) 1.3 or later, and Vertex Shader 1.1 or later, you can use the GPU-accelerated transitions. They are
visible only if you have a card with a GPU and they reside in the Video Transitions folder in the Transitions view.

Previewing transitions
Available transitions are accessed in the Transitions view of the Tasks panel (click Edit; then Transitions). They are
organized into two main folders: Video Transitions and Audio Transitions. You can narrow a search for transitions
by choosing a transition type, such as Dissolve, from the Category menu. You can also search for a transition by typing
its name in the search box.
If you use a transition frequently, you can right-click it and choose Add To Favorites. You can then quickly find all
your frequently used transitions in the Favorites folder.
Video transitions have animated thumbnail previews that show how they affect clips. Select a transition to set its
thumbnail in motion. You can preview an animated thumbnail transition in the Transition view without having to
apply it to a clip.
