Hi Kenneth, I really like your animation. I can't wait until you're able to
share with us your methods!

Sadly, this is also the case on my computer. I am running Windows XP too, so to
prove to myself that I wasn't going crazy I also looked at it under my fresh
dual-boot install of Windows 7, and I get the same result.

I loaded the video file into VirtualDub and indeed you have a duplicate frame at
frames 16 and 17 (0-based), which are identical. Removing frame 17 leaves a
smooth animation.

I don't know what to tell you, other than that I do see the glitch, and there
*is* an extra frame in there. Perhaps monkeyjam does see it too and removes the
duplicate frame automatically for you?
