[Paraview] animation with changing visibility

To All,

I have searched around a bit for some documentation on this (including 
this mailing list), so my apologizes if it has been discussed before. 

I am trying to create a simple animation using Paraview 3.4.0.  The 
animation desired is: a 3D cube rotates for 5 seconds, becomes invisible 
and is replaced with a new object (a slice from the center of the 3D 
cube). 

It seemed fairly straight forward but I have been running into some 
problems.  I have no problem with the rotation (using the Transform 
filter) for 5 seconds.  I am running into trouble with changing the 
visibility.  Specifically, making the 3D sphere turn invisible and 
making the slice become visible at the appropriate time.  I have tried 
animating the visibility of an object but am not sure how to do this 
properly or what values to set.  I tried working with the assumption 
that a visibility value of 0 meant invisible, but that didn't seem to be 
working.

Thanks for any help!
