I notice that FADE will behave differently given different processor speeds. Is it possible to work out some sort of table of equivalents? That is, if FADE 0 could be tested with various processors/speeds and we could then know what argument to use for a desired effect? Am I making sense here?

Page 14-3 and 14-4 of the manual discuss FADE parameters which provide processor independent FADE by inserting video frame sync'ed delays This is the ONLY way to achieve a processor independent fade, and unfortunately, the only way to get a reasonably quick fade is to select it to step only 4 or 8 times in the transition, instead of the smoothest 16. This is due to the fact that the 60ths of a second sync can slow a 16 step fade more than desirable. Keith

Thanks, Keith. I will check out those pages.
