Guys, thanks for all the responses and PMs - been completely snowed under with other jobs! Very useful info! Thank you!

Hi guys,

We've been using SketchUp at our engineering firm in the UK for a few years. We only really use it for very basic stuff.
We'd like to take some of the models we've made and animate a camera path to pan around the model. The plan is to export these animations as videos that will be shown on the product pages of our website.

Is it possible to export animations with SketchUp? Or should I export the drawings into something like 3D studio max and animate in there instead?

As a side note, if I wanted to outsource this type of work to someone, where would I look? We have a lot of drawings that need work on them + animations making and I don't have the time to do it.

Thanks!
