My workflow:
-In build mode, place all walking people in a place hidden from view. Say, behind a building or house. And place all cars in the parking lot, in a parked position.
-In movie mode, animate only the walking people you need for each clip, and animate only the cars you need in each clip.
After all, you can not only set the finish point, but also the starting point, so the position of both walking people and cars in build mode is irrelevant, and it's better if they're not conspicuous.
EDIT: Now I see you're referring to advanced animation. Sorry, I though it was simple animation.
