Split Scene into Multiple Parts

Question

Hey everyone,

I'm working on an episode of a cartoon with lots of characters and one complex (animated) background -- all vector. I inserted all the audio and did all the lipsync so it's currently around six and a half minutes long. I started recording dragger movements for the different characters and CH keeps freezing and crashing. I guess that this is probably because my scene is too long so I'd like to split it into smaller parts, but I don't want to have to redo the audio and lipsync.

Is there a way to split one scene into multiple usable parts?

And what other things can be causing the crashes and how can I fix that? (I'm pretty sure it's not my computer.)

Thanks!

Are there logical cut points for the scene? I tend to do short scenes where the camera angle or simlar changes, then render them all separately (for performance reasons). Otherwise you may notice the cut points (things like hair dangles with physics are very hard to line up, so you need to hide them).

Sorry, no advice on "best" length of a scene - I think it depends on your scene and character complexity etc. I used very short clips (like 5 to 10 seconds) because I did lots of camera moves from different angles (with background completely changing), so almost no experience with longer scenes sorry.

To split it up, I would experiment on another project first (!!), but if you select the scene in the timeline, then select "Edit / Duplicate" from menus, I think you can then trim the duplicate scene and just chop it up that way (tedious, but best I can think of).
