I was asking, what will the transition effect while one image replacing
other during playback? Will the first image fade out, or wipe or something
like that.

So, here we can do two things as far I can think as of now, we can either
encode the images in video format (i.e. generate a video out of them) using
some libraries like ffmpeg and play them, there we would have full control
on frame rate and output format and since a video would be generated we can
put play, pause and backward forward controls easily.
Or secondly if generating video seems a hefty task then we can simply make
a slide show of individual images using some Qt class and see if we can get
precise control of timing(fps).

I'll be fixing some bugs, as exams are going in my college(they are till
this Wednesday) so not getting much time. Will get completely into it once
they get over.

Thank you :)
