Gary,
This is the way that I have been doing it and this may not be what you are looking for. I save mine to windows media player and then you can send it to windows movie maker to edit, if you have that program? If not, I think you can get it free at windows market place.
First in sketchup open your drawing and under edit, click on select all and then go to the file menu, click on export and a file window should come up and then click on export again. The media should come up and play your animation. Then you can copy and paste to another program. I hope this is helpful and what you are looking for.
Someone else may have a better way and if so I would be interested also.
God bless
