Hi Lynn,

I like Joe's idea to make a slideshow in Rev. You could even make a  
tool that creates these slideshows automatically.

Perhaps not exactly what you have in mind, but you could use a screen  
recorder to record the animation into a QuickTime movie. Here's a  
screen recorder created with Revolution: <http://snapper.economy-x-talk.com

Since it is possible to create a simple screen recorder with  
Revolution, it is also possible to create a movie directly from your  
stack. Check out the EnhancedQT external (should be the first hit in  
your favorite search engine). I use it to create my movies.
