Quote - I have a question. WHat's better, make looong animation files with camera changes OR

make small files with 1 shot each file..

But if you do that, then your animation won't flow. or will it? can you make it flow?

 

Also if you do it 1 shot per file.. you will want to continue the previous file, with the character at the exact position where it left off in the previous file but that'd be hard

 

It really depends on the material, how you shoot and edit is determined by the mood of the piece. I do render out quite long animation sequences and build in camera moves and cuts (using straight or break splines keys in the animation palette) If I need to move all to a new file (to hide parenting changes or some other change) I save a duplicate of my file, keyframe everything at the cut point, then delete the sections I don't need. Remember to watch out for spline interpolation glitches when you have to set the new first keyframe.

The pz3 for this one is really short, using 179 frame free bvh from E3D.co cut and shot from multiple angles I squeezed over 600 frames from that file
