about this product. If you use the ‘beachdemo’ that comes with the program download it is choppy — terrible!. But, what I did was to take that ‘beachdemo’ clip and exported it as a ‘video’ at ‘best’ 30fps. It took a while to render (350MHz machine), but when completed it was flawless. I will some more tests with my own photos and if the result is the same then I am sure I will purchase it. I just need to test out burning to a CD and playing it on my T.V’s DVD player (if, in fact, I can do that).

I think much of the "choppiness" you're experiencing can be explained by the 350Mhz Mac you're using. I have a 600Mhz G3 iBook and it's preview can appear a little sluggish, but on a modern Mac with a good graphics card (1Ghz,or faster or or a G5 system) it's very good.Nonetheless, it has nothing to do with the output which is fabulous on **any** system. Remember, these are 16-bit 1024x768 images it's trying to rotate, slide and fade through - you need to double-buffer alot of data for the preview and you videocard (like mine) might be some crappy old 4-8Mb ATI card.
This is good software from a non-greedy developer. Buy it - it's fantastic.
