Dear R_Vera
Thanks for prompt reply. Last night I put studio 15 on to my old xp 8 year old laptop. I knew it wouldn't work because the specs were too low.
After installing. the transitions worked . It was on the inbuilt Intel graphics card.
I didn't mean they wouldn't render on my main desktop, they wouldn't even work when you clicked on them in the editing screen.
It seemed to be the ones with rounded edges in the transition. i.e. circles / heart shapes and petal shapes. The diamond shape and push / pull menus were ok.
I returned to my desktop PC / a 6 core 3.3 gig amd 1100t cpu./ 4 gig ram / Nvidia 450gt gpu / Samsung ssd c drive / various other drives to do the editing on.
I uninstalled the gigabyte driver which was version 327.23 and I installed a driver from about 3 months ago which was still on my downloads page version 320.49. Re-booted and they worked
just fine as always. I did the same to my other PC and it also worked on that as well. As soon as new drivers become available I install them without question in the slim hope they will
make studio more efficient to work with but I will be more conservative in the future when installing updates. So it appears that the update caused me 2 days of worry.
