About Transitions and OpenGL
What is Open Graphics Library (OpenGL)? A cross-platform software library that computer programs can use to
communicate with your display driver.
For Pan And Zoom and 3D-Pixelate transitions, your computer should have OpenGL Version 1.2 or higher. OpenGL
version depends on the display card drivers installed on your system. If you see a warning that your system does not
support OpenGL, ensure that you have the most recent driver for your display card installed. Display card
manufacturers update many of their drivers frequently to keep up with new operating system and program features.
Before you update the drivers, determine the version of the current display driver.
