Sorry I was wrong, it is indeed a matter of Picture Size. Pics larger than screen res flicker in V5 but not in V4 while fading. Unfortunately, it is V5 I could make use of larger Images No need for them in V4, bummer. However, wasnt it a discussion awhile ago weather or not V5 has disadvatages? Apperently, it makes sense to keep V4.49 as a Basic version a it can handle large images with older hardware, something V5 can not, though having the same engine for non KenBurns Effect. Thanks anyway, Esben
