Pan stop before transition

I'm hoping someone can help me find a way to set things up to prevent the following annoyance.

I have a series of pictures, each with a pan of some sort (left to right, etc.) and just prior to the transition the movement across the pictures stops and then the transition occurs. It is annoying as I would like the transistion to occur while the pan hasn't stopped (as it creates a jerky viewing experience). I've tried extending the duration of the slides and that doesn't appear to help.

Any ideas?

Add about 50/60 frames (2 seconds) at the end where no pan effect is present and then add the transition. PC specs :
OS Windows 10.0 Pro
MB - AS rock Z77 extreme 11
Intel 3770K @ 4.0 Ghz OC
Gskill 32 GB RAM 1800 Mhz

I am having the same issue. I'm using a Fujitsu LifeBook laptop with:

Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
AMD Turion 64X x 2 Mobile Technology TL-62 2.10 Ghz
3 Gb DDR2-667Mhz SDRAM dual_channel memory module
ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 Graphics Card w/256 MB memeory
Built-in flat-panel TFT active matrix LCD display
250 Gb Fujitsu ATA HD
PD 7 Ultra v 7.0.2519 (just purchase a few weeks ago)

Even when I burn the slideshow to DVD, the jerky and choppy slideshow is totally unacceptable.

My project has 61 pictures, one song, fades between each picture and pan and zoom on each picture.

I have used PD 6 on this same laptop with much bigger slideshows and no problems detected. I have been pretty disappointed so far with PD 7. I'm also not happy with the fact that you can no longer add transitions in storyboard mode also, but my biggest complaint is the choppy previews and final render. If this can't be resolved, I will have to go back to PD 6.
