Splitting Cropping and Mirroring

I prefer to work in a more "Hollywood Studio" sort of fashion, so I tend to keep my animations short. It makes for a more efficient workflow and we just stitch the various animation renders together later in a movie editor. So I only make each animated scene as long as it needs to be to get the point across and, even then, I may use more than one saved animation scene to convey a single point.


We probably already know how to edit when an aniBlock starts and ends, but I see that many folks are unfamiliar with Cropping them - which, as you'll see has more power to it than one might expect

Likewise, I'm sure we all know how to mirror our motion capture data. But just in case...

This is how I work with the limitations I have with having a low VRAM on my GPU - creating multiple renders to be layered in Fusion or HitFilm, PD Howler... whatever compositing tool you use

It's actually more fun and definitely more powerful!
