I don't really know what is happening in the anims to make the file larger than the components files, but is surely is… Thanks for the clue on the Mac file util, I'll follow up. You're right about the PICS files; that's one of the options that I have. The "brute force" method I mentioned is going all the way to a set of PICT files, which is easily done in Director, and then bringing them into Ani Pro one frame at a time with NUMPIC.
