This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.

Message section 6 (Videophile) is dedicated to video/graphics. Rather than assigning a "DeskTop Video" section, an all encompassing heading (Videophile) is used. Also, the number of sections is limited. If you can't access section 6, type OP at the function prompt and change your SU(btopics) to include area 6. Now, you are right about the incompatibilty of Aegis & Sculpt anims. But, there's more! Impulse, Forms in Flight, Hash, all have their own formats. I have been told that a standard is being talked about. Hopefully something will come about at the developers conference. The Director will only read in Aegis ANIM formats. If you would like to use your Sculpt animations with The Director you can do 1 of two things. Either read in each frame created by sculpt and page flip them, OR create an ANIM using your Sculpt frames. Currently, Aegis Video Titler will create ANIM files from pictures passed to it.
