I'm afraid there is no such thing in LC, you need to create your own.
But since the number of supported visual effects will not change dynamically like "the fontnames",
you will only need to create it once.

Richmond.
The dictionary show the 15-odd different types:
plain
checkerboard
venetian blinds
iris close|open
zoom close|in|open|out
wipe up|down|right|left
dissolve
push up|down|right|left
reveal up|down|right|left
shrink to bottom|to center|to top
stretch from bottom|from center|from top
scroll up|left|down|right
curl up|down: (iOS only)
flip left|right: (iOS only); the background behind the flip is taken from the background color of the current stack, i.e. the card is cut out and flipped over the stack

the name of a Core Image Transition Effect (MacOS/iOS only; see note below)
You can amend with speeds and "finalImages"

Thank you both.
I shall see if I can put something vaguely useful together this weekend.

To be honest I would be inclined to exclude those (especially the ones dependent on QuickTime).

I wonder why 'Barn Door' is not mentioned in the Dictionary?
