Transitions. Effects missing?

I click on Effects and in that panel I only see fx motion, fx opacity, time remapping.

Where do I find the effects if not listed here, or are they not included in the trial version?

Thanks, Gary

    You have highlighted the Effect Controls.

    You need the Effects panel.

    Twirl down Window at the top and click on Effects (shift+7)

    Or click on the Editing workspace. There you will find Effects as one of the tabs (bottom left.).

    Thank you everyone.

    I am on the Premier trial and it is quite different than Pinnacle Studio. Some basics, but more control in Premier. It's easy to quickly click on something unknowingly and wind up in Never Never Land with Michael Jackson. Then, I can't find my way back.  :-(

    I have 3 days left on this trial. Apart from a 4 yr college degree in video production, how can one learn the basics of this?  I have perused YouTube, Studio Backlot, Help, and this forum. Many terms I don't know what they mean. Is there a glossary of terms?

    I like how quickly I can do editing.  Now trying to learn more tricks as I did in Studio.

    I found the transitions. I drag it to the timeline, but nothing happens. While the pointer indicates it's Ok to place it where I drag it to, the transition just doesn't appear.  I know I must be doing something wrong.

    Thanks!  Gary

    CTRL Z is the redo shortcut.

    You may also have to press Enter to render the timeline.

    Those are only the "Fixed Effects."

    Window > Effects from the menu will give you the Effects and Transitions Panel.

    EDIT: Ann types faster than I do.
