Just a quick question today - if I export an .ass sequence of a scene containing hidden objects, are those included in the .ass files? If I'm hiding say, part of an environment to have a clear line of sight for a shot, I'd rather not have to delete it from a scene prior to exporting to .ass, but I also want to keep the file sizes of the sequences down.
EDIT: As usual, forgot to have my coffee before asking questions. Realized this would take two seconds to test... yes, .ass files with hidden geometry are significantly smaller than ones with the geometry visible.
