I'd like to be able to fade in/fade out while transitioning between scenes to show different design solutions "morphing" into one another. Has anyone figured out how to do this in SketchUp?

I installed Sketchup Pro, Windows version, on my new iMac running Windows XP under Fusion.

It worked fine until I had a power failure. Now it gives me the message "application won't start because AVIFLI32.dll was not found..". I've tried reinstalling sketchup without success. The AVIFLI32.dll does exist in the windows directory. I tried Registry Mechanic without any results.

Any ideas out there? Sounds like a registry issue to me.

I'm considering making the jump to an iMac from PC. As an architect I need to run AutoCad 2000 and of course SketchUp Pro. The Nvidia card comes with 512 Mb memory and the ATI with 256Mb.
I can get a better deal on a bundle containing the ATI but I'm wondering if I would regret not getting the Nvidia? How much better would it be for Sketchup?
