I wrote an animation program that operates on UF UPR files. It works using key frames and fills in the intermediate frames. I assume the new UF will operate this way. And tresamie is right; you are looking at 10s of megabytes for 320x240 (mpeg-1) and 100s of megabyte for 720x480 (dvd or mpeg-2) animation for run times of 2-4 minutes. Render time is from 1-15 minutes per frame depending on size and layers, etc; 30 fps is the usual rate, so you are looking at a long time to render an animation. I had some that ran for 5 weeks. But UF doesn't mind being interrupted so managing this process isn't so bad. Takes patience though. Follow the link to see a few of the animations I have made.
