Can i export smd animation on a specific timeline period?
Hello, im porting animation from other games, and all anims stored in one timeline, so to separate them i need export specific frames, for an example from 3200 to 3300, but it seems that BST exporting all the anims from 0 to 3300, even if its dont have keyframes in there, i dont know it's bug or i just not properly used it. So how can i export anims on specific time?

and are you that lazy to remove all frames but 3200-3300 and move rest to beginning?

There are 24000 frames approximately,each move has 20-100 frames, and i dont need half of them, but just moving keyframes with that amount of moves freezes my blender forever.
SMD with all 24000 frames have size around 100 Mb

write a macro for text edtor or make some scripts to crop and shift frames then. SMD is text format with easily understandable syntax.

And yet, if I want to change some specific keyframes, I will have to spend much more time deleting unnecessary ones and moving them due to the slowness of the blender.
In my opinion, it is much easier and more expedient to have the option of exporting individual time segments on the timeline.

Not so smart to make that kind of soft for text editor.

Yeah, but it will still be more convenient and faster to have such an opportunity in the addon.

You should be able to achieve this by setting up Non-Linear Animation (NLA) in your scene. This way you can select a subsection of the action either by cropping it, or by moving its track segment before scene frame 0.

Is there any guide for cropping animation with NLA? And is there no opportunity to make blender compiling smd using options start and endtime, those are currently used by blender native rendering.

2 second web search: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/editors/nla/index.html

The tools export the full scene without regard to hidden objects or frame subsections, and this is by design.
