Render a selected part of the animation.

[Nimi 8.3k]

Some people have probably added things to their animations that they don't want to be in the final outcome...

Some people have made HUGE animations and in the end, their computer can't render it.

 

 

A lot of people are saying to render it in little scenes.

But the only way to do that currently is to create a new project every time you want to create a a new scene. 

 

What I had in mind is to have something similar to Sony Vegas were you can select what parts you want to render from a project.

 

For those who use Sony Vegas might know what I'm talking about...

A selection in the render screen. Render all, render selection, and then a start frame and end frame. Easy, simple, and amazingly helpful. +1

This would make my life soooo much easier!

I have to keep making new animation files because my laptop can't render past 2000 frames (and overheats like crazy [good for cooking bacon on]), and I'm clumsy so I accidentally replace the old .mprog file with the new animation scene I made and if I discover an issue in the last scene, I can't change it coz it's gone!

(And that, ladies and mentlegen, is where I've been all this time. Recreating whole scenes from scratch because of a small mistake  )

If this was implemented, we can make the whole animation in one .mprog file and export it in bits!

Brilliant!

Even better: another option to render in 'chunks', where it creates a new video file after a set amount of keyframes. And wipes the old one from its memory. You have a set of such and such a number of perfectly lined-up videos you could easily put together in Movie Maker if you needed to. Fast, easy, and solves the problem that much better. So long ss it saves them in order like:

Randomtest_1.avi

Randomtest_2.avi

Etc...

With numbers to show the number of the video and keep it in order. Simple.

Yes pl0x.

This would be an amazing idea... For my current animation, every 25 seconds I have to split the animation into separate files to render them, which limits my ability to create better camera angles

If there are still people that don't know how to do this, select a certain part of the timeline by holding your right mouse button,

then if your done selecting, just render it and BOOM! It works!
