... but I am wondering whether SD includes the motion-ui libraries, as I cannot get the fade effects to work.
You can see in Actions - Settings if the Motion-UI is checked or not. It is checked by default. To make the transitions, like 'fade' work, you need to have the latest release of SD, build 3285, in which the Foundation framework was updated.
You can find more options among the transition classes here: https://github.com/zurb/motion-ui/blob/ … classes.md
