P.S. Another possibility you could also fake a transition. Then start your
timer in the openCard handler of your destination card.
In starting card:
on fakeTransition
lock screen
import snapshot
"opencard" does not respect this.
If the visual effect may be compromising your very critical timing perhaps you
should eliminate the visual effect.
Just go card and start timing upon opencard.
