Doc, Here's what I do: First, I save it under whatever name I'm going to call the second part (that way, any changes I make won't affect the completed animation) Then: Go to Frame 120. Select "Edit", then "Memorize", then "All". This will save the position of everything at frame 120. Now go back to frame 1. Select "Edit", then "Restore", and "All". This puts everything in frame 1 in the same position that it was in at frame 120. Change the length of the animation to one frame, to get rid of all of the stuff that was in part 1. The system will ask if you're sure you want to do this. Tell it yes. Now, change the end frame to make it as long as you want part 2 to be, and save. Make sure when you render part 2, you start at frame 2, because frame 1 of part 2 is just a duplicate of frame 120 in part 1
