This is a bit frustrating... I'm trying to put together a presentation that
includes a number of stacks (each screen is a different stack). I had hoped
to use quicktime effects (user selection) to transition between stacks but
as you say it seems to be unsupported.

I don't think the progrssive rect change will satisfy my clients but thanks
for the idea.
