Drew,
Yeah I thought the price would be a factor, Scala is a lready a complete solution which has the functionality you require out of the box, which means development time is not really a factor as I could probably build this start to finish within a day.
Ok lets look at your problems currently. In Director I would do one of two things to prevent a flash at the start or end of a video clip, maybe you can try these ideas.
(1) Move the clip off screen just before a video ends, and start the video playing off screen before you bring it into position. Not sure how this would operate inside BMax.
(2) Use an underlaid first frame/last frame so when the video stops you have something to take the eye to a frozen frame. With BMax you could then fly it off screen maybe, or fade it to black quickly.
Hope this helps.
