Export Work Area

I have been exporting only work areas via Media Encoder, but there is some communication issue between Ch and Me where my puppets' shoulders are bunched together in the resulting files.*

So I went back to what I think is the risky function "Trim Scene to Work Area," which consists of actually deleting all your work except the work area and then undoing that--if you don't get sidetracked or there's a crash before you get back to undo it.

1) Is there a way to recover takes or a previous version of ONE SCENE within a project without wiping out all your work progress in other scenes that you've made since that version?

2) Can we please have an "Export>Work Area" function to simply bypass all this?

Thanks.
