Hi Richard,

Working with both Macs and PCs, I am always surprised by the BIG 
difference between graphic cards speeds.
I have to say that graphic cards on Macs are very slow compared to even 
cheap PC cards...
For instance, you use a dissolve effect FAST on a Mac since it appears 
too slow without adding fast.
Then you put the stack on a PC and you don't see nothing: It's already 
too fast :-)
All visual features where a delay can't be set (as for the move 
command) have to be changed according to the platform.
Some of them can't be used on Macs: everybody does not own a G5 2*2.7 
GHz :-(
BTW Chipp's stack works great on any PC...

Best regards from Paris,
