Use camera path option - for partial camera movements

[tricky]

I have a long, 1 minute length camera animation. At various stages along the timeframe, different XREFs are loaded in. I therefore need about 10 different GI calculations (LC and IRmaps) for each of these segments. I will include a bit of overlap so I can cross fade in After Effects.

Normally, I calculate the GI using the option to 'Use camera path'. However, I only want to use portions of the camera path for each solution.

If I 'crop' the timeline for each camera and use the 'Use camera path' options for LC and IRmap, will this just calculate for the camera path for the duration of the timebar along the bottom, or will it calculate for the entire length of the camera?

V-Ray will get the info from the time line (in fact, V-Ray has no idea when exactly the camera is animated).

Best regards,

Brilliant, that's what I hoped for!
