Unable to change Whip transition direction | Direction adjustment not shown in Effect Controls

[Valkyrie1693]

I've seen that some other users were having this issue on Reddit with both Whip, and also Dip Into White/Black transitions. 

I want to change the direction of this transition to slide to the left. Looking at tutorials, there should be an option in the Effect Controls panel where I can change the transition direction. I don't have this feature for any of my transitions. Has anyone run into this before?

Here is my Effect Controls:

And here is a screenshot of what I see tutorial producer's screens look like. The bit circled in red is the box that should allow me to change the transition direction. My box does not allow this. I have clicked on it to make sure.

Thanks in advance!

You are using the WHIP transition which does not have directions, your example shows the WIPE transition which does have several directions.
