This is the free version. I have a live narrator and am adding photos in the track above here and there. If I put 2 back to back photos with a transition, the narrator still shows very briefly during the transition between the two photos which I would like to avoid. I am just using the basic zoom in/out. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thanks.

You'd have to change the opacity of the narrator track locally to 0 in this transition area to avoid the bleed through.

Sorry,but I'm still very new to the product. Can you tell me how to do that? Thanks again.

Opacity is controlled by the green line at the top of the video clip. Just put a notch with keypoints in the opacity and have a setting of 0 in say the middle of the transition. This will prevent the narration track bleed through during transition. The attached clip shows and explains how to easily create an opacity keypoints.

Thank you very much. This worked fine, but one would think that 2 "back to back" photos wouldn't have any space between for bleed through.

The two pics are back to back with no gap. It's the transition that you wanted to use. Part of that transition changes the opacity of the pics as they zoom in, this change in opacity of the pic allows the more dominate track to bleed through. The opacity adjustment of the narration track simply made the bleed through black so it's not noticeable. If you changed transition to something that's not changing opacity, there would not be any bleed through.
