Hard drive space isn't really an issue either but when you've got alot of seperate elements and animations floating around, I find it more manageable to have them in ani format. However, if that is only going to work for final output, it compounds the problem. I need to be able to do tests and try different combinations. The key word here is tests. I'm not concerned about what happens with artifacting as a result, but being able to recomposite etc. I can fill up 4 gigs easily. Its still comes down to file management and what works best. I find ani files easier to deal with and mostly haven't had a problem but I have had some. I think the stability issue of these files needs to be addressed. Not to discount what DPS has done but the pre-roll thing was the result of changing 1 byte. <g> Not a big challenge.
