so i tried it out. things seemed to be working for a bit. then my lappy just shut down completely (not at a gig - at home - running without serato - just battery). which is weird since it should've had enough charge to last for a bit. maybe the battery is too old...(pre-unibody 2008). so i plugged it back in. then the qtz transitions just didn't work. ME could see them in the folder, but the transition was coming out wrong. i tried 3 different types. one with a regular picture of my daughter (to see what a full color pic would be like) and 2 with just single color words (my name in a bold font - one as jpg, other as png w/transparency). before the lappy shut down, i guess it was doing kinda like a lumakey transition with the full picture font. cool. after the comp crash, it was doing like one of the grid transitions. when i tried one of the font qtz transitions, it would just cut over immediately. i tried re-booting and nothing. it just doesn't work. even deleted the qtz files and reloaded from the originals. nada. but ME still seems to run ok. this is the latest version of ME.
