One thing I loved about Vegas is each transition could be previewed so you know what they did without having to apply them then look at it. Is there a way to preview all the transitions in PPro 2 or CS3 ? Its a huge problem for me to have to apply them one by one to see what they do. Time waster.

The previews are on the help screen

what help screen? Is there a transition help window? I find Adobe help 'manuals' etc very hard to find anything I need

Woops... just re-read the question...

Premiere Help shows the "effects" not the "transitions"

Sorry......
