Hi All,

What is the best approach to combine multiple project into one, What i mean to say as an example suppose i want to make 1 project end (110 frame) scene (prop charcater  text) as starting of next scene.

Just take an example to real world movie shooting (Take 1 )is over . Now take 2 begining is the end of take 1 end .

So I am at 120 frame i want same scene character, prop, text as 1 frame so i can make another project and combine.
Simply make (n) frame scene as 1 frame of next projcet (without building everything from scratch).
What is the best approach.

Save your scene so it can be loaded into multiple projects...  Select all the elements you want as a scene, right click and choose Add to Scene, then in the content manager, select the scene tab, then the plus sign at the bottom, this will save your scene.  Now you can load it over and over without having to rebuild it.

So the character , text and last charcter position (3d multi-angle with some hand /Arm movement ) will also get saved into the scene

Thanks

No, characters and animations do not get saved with the scene. But is it really a different scene if they're in the same spot, doing the same thing? With a different camera shot at the beginning of the scene, you could approximate the actual starting point well enough.  2D, and even 3D animation requires lots of inventive thinking when trying to portray different scenes, and transitions. Evaluate if that character really does have to be in that same exact spot or not... Use different camera shots and angles to tie scenes together, or even to separate them.

First save the project under a new name,
then load the saved project,
move to the last frame,
then "remove animation" from each animated character, prop, etc.
Now you can move to the first frame and everything should be as it was in the last frame.

But as Wizard pointed out, if the new scene starts exactly where the prior one ended then it is not really a new scene or shot.
If you want the same "set" then you can save the scene/set and reload it in a new project as Wizard pointed out.
Saving a set does not save/include characters.
