Why is my transition browser not working in ScreenFlow?

There could be several reasons why your transition browser is not working in ScreenFlow. One common issue could be that your software is outdated. ScreenFlow frequently updates its software to fix bugs and improve performance. If you're using an older version, it may not support certain features or functions properly. Therefore, it's recommended to always keep your software up-to-date.

Another possible reason could be related to your computer's hardware or operating system. ScreenFlow requires specific system requirements to function optimally. If your computer doesn't meet these requirements, you may experience issues with certain features like the transition browser. Additionally, if you're running other heavy applications simultaneously, it might affect the performance of ScreenFlow. Lastly, it could be a temporary glitch. Try restarting the software or your computer to see if the problem persists. If none of these solutions work, consider reaching out to ScreenFlow's customer support for further assistance.
