It sort of looks like the timeline layers in Final Cut, Adobe Premiere and Macromedia Flash which would be a big help in moving around and reusing animations to fit what you wanted.

The hard part to figure out beforehenad is what kind of memory both RAM and VRAM it's going to take to render complex animations like that. What usually happens is, it'll act differently depending on your system configuration and some will have more problems than others with it
