Connecting Solidworks Animator files

Connecting Solidworks Animator files

Connecting Solidworks Animator files

(OP)
Is it possible to join individual animations into a single animation?  I am working on an animation with several components and it would be easier to work with if I could create segments of animation and "paste" them together to make one long animation. Every time I make a change to the timing of a move the time bar at the top goes to zero and then regenerates(?) the animation.  I spend a a lot of time watching the regen and not working.

RE: Connecting Solidworks Animator files

Sure you can do this but you will need a video editor to piece the files together.  There are no tools included with SW to do this.  If your on Win XP you should have Windows Movie Maker which can do this.

Nero will also do it very nice, but Win Movie Maker as Rob suggested is easier.
