PAR backup!
Well I agree that rerendering them is not feasible. And breaking up a 3600
frame ani file into <896 frame segments is a pain too. So What's wrong with
just saving the animation on video tape, say… component betacam SP. Having
the master ani file in this analog format is just about the next best thing.
Just a year ago we all stored our animations in video format. And I don't ever
recall saving some 900-3600 tga's to Jumbo 250 tapes. I couldn't afford the
tape stock. <G> So what has changed to cause all the panic with this NEED to
save huge *.ani files?
