Existing users, 
This program is unable to display a simple 16 photo series of 1.4m (2000x3000) jpg's using the default drag and drop crossfades. It hasn't been able to do this on Leopard since day one.
Like the poster below me, I have contacted their support to told it must be my machine. This, in spite of the fact that it is an 8 core 3.0gHz PMP with 9gb RAM and an xt1900 video card. I was asked for a screenshot of my Graphics/Display page from System Profiler. I sent one and never got a response.
Even when I cut these photos in half (.7m/1000x1500) I get the same jerky motion across the fade points. It is impossible to make any kind of edit decision with the playback this bad.
The previous update actually, which touted a gazillion fixes actually made things even worse.
I'm real tired of this and I'm done paying upgrade fees for it anymore.

Jerky movement has plagued this program since day 1 - katir
Sadly while iPhoto shows a lot of promise, this is indeed a problem...Re the references to Graphic Converter. I don't remember that GC ever provided finely tuned controls over KenBurns effects... and that's the key feature of iPhoto....
Does GConverter ,latest versions do ken burns effects... allow you to place the photo on a time line in differentpositions. etc.?

Jerky movement has plagued this program since day 1 - waynem1--2008
I have an similarly configured Mac Pro, and just finished a chapter for a movie using 141 12MP photos with crossfades and soundtrack.Version 4.13 would hang. I corresponded with the program author, and the fix was in 4.14. My experience with PTM has been excellent.
If the complaint is about jerky movement in the preview, yes it is there when rendering large pictures in full screen mode. However, the rendered output is phenomenal.
I highly recommend PTM.
