I does not cost $200 unless you unlock all of them and that is way
more than you would need in your lifetime. You can select individual
packs that are much, much cheaper. Besides transition should be use
very little and only when necessary to improve the video. Heck, it is
easy to do a whole full DVD movie without ever using them. There a so
many other things like picture in picture and zoom, etc that do much
more to make the video look great. The biggest single mistake most
beginers video editors make is to put what they like into the movie
rather than what the viewer want. Most of the time less is better.
