Hi
I know of only 2 mainstream video editors which support OpenGL 'shader injection', and neither of them are Magix, or former Magix, products.
Other software such as FFMPEG and Blender can utilise GL Transitions with video.
Looking at the GL examples most of them that are available now, can be recreated in VDL and Video Pro X and saved as a Transition.
See this tutorial on creating transitions from video clips.
Whether Magix would add support for OpenGL transitions, only they can answer.

Vegas Pro has supported GL Transitions for a few versions now, and people do script for them.

Hi,
If you're looking for more transitions, I recommend Pixelan SpiceMaster 3 for Magix. I can probably do most of the 121 GL transitions with it, with intricate modifications of each, quite simply and without any programming. There are thousands of premade effects, hundreds of masks, that can all be easily manipulated and modified in the Pixelan interface. The possibilities are almost infinite. Add in the other Pixelan effects, and you won't want or need to look elsewhere.
