I see a lot of information on here about doing certain "animations" like fades, moving items across the screen, etc. Would it be possible for the tech team to create downloadable scribes or templates that already have these effects within the scribe and all we have to do as users is insert our own images? Or is something like that already available or even possible??

That's great! I think that would help a lot of folks. . . . including ME!!!

 //Jonny Steele - we are looking at providing templates in an easily accessible location soon.

Fades, Morphs etc would be included in this also//

 No new templates? This is already September
