If you can predict the position of each object at a specific time,
independent of the history of the movement in the previous frames, then
you can just evaluate the positions for the individual frame.
If the position of the objects depends on their history (e.g. particle
systems where the particles bounce off each other or other objects in
the scene) then you can write out a file containing the state
information at the end of frame N and read it back at the start of frame
N+1. You still have to parse all 8000 frames at some point.
