I noticed the exact same problem but I was able to isolate it to specific objects. Initially I was trying to keyframe Rodrisilva's Citroen 2CV going over the hill in his set and I could only spin or flip the car not tilt to go up or down hill. I tried the triplane and the triangular prism and they worked fine. The wheelbarrow in the farm objects only spins so its not only with imported objects.

The digger worked ok althought the scoop caused some issues coming off the hill!

I'm clueless to the modeling side of things but it appears keyframing requires some specific object settings to allow rotation in all 3 dimensions.

Cheers

Happened again yesterday - a chair would only move in 2 rather than 3 dimensions. Gave up and directed it......

Didn't fix on save and re-open either.]]> Mon, 30 May 2016 11:05:06 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5534-feb-2016-release-feedbackbugs.aspx Message from ukBerty
Here's how to recreate....

Create a new set
change timeline to 1 sec so there's something to record
save the set
Make a PNG sequence
Open a new set - Muvizu says the set has been changed and do you want to save it even though it hasn't

Now this may seem a little thing, but it's wasting hours of time overall.

My sets can take 30 secs to save. I used to use the "open" feature to see if I had changed anything since last save. Typically I always save before making a video (it used to be a bit crashy at this point and I've never got out the habit). I then make the video - this can take 5-10 mins depending on length. I then want to move onto the next set and I'm not sure if I've saved or not (I'll be working on my second instance of Muvizu while rendering and I'm getting old so can't remember....). So every render now effectively takes 30 secs longer as I have to do an additional save to make sure it will open the same way I rendered it.

I suspect this was a, let's call it, "quick fix" to ensure that the layers you select to render are saved in the set. Instead of setting a flag when these change you have set the flag on "make video" which is not quite the same thing and has led to inefficiencies.

Please could you add it to the list.....]]> Mon, 30 May 2016 11:03:20 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5534-feb-2016-release-feedbackbugs.aspx Message from ziggy72 Tue, 24 May 2016 17:32:01 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5534-feb-2016-release-feedbackbugs.aspx Message from ukBerty

You don't seem to be able to "tlit" objects at all. Once you have turned on keyframing for an object it will remain on the same plane.

So create a object (I'm using the fire extinguisher).
Turn on keyframing
Try to make the fire extinguisher fall over and you can't as you can't tilt anything.

This is a major restriction of the keyframing system (in fact it makes it a bit useless).

Am I missing something or is this a real issue ?

It works fine for me, Have you tried going into the properties for the object and uncheck the keep object up right, that could have something to do with it, then I'm not really sure if that's the case, but I always do anyways when I use the Key frame.]]> Wed, 11 May 2016 14:28:55 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5534-feb-2016-release-feedbackbugs.aspx Message from ziggy72

I was able to recreate a similar problem with the Western Street - I grouped a few of the objects (barrel, wheel, box and stones) in the scene in Muvizu 1.5 and saved the set. When I open the set in 1.7 I can see the group but the group won't move even when the cursor changes to the compass arrows. If I right click and ungroup I see the individual objects selected and then if I right click and group I can move them around the scene as I would expect.

Retried with one of the lighting sets and a few added objects and noticed it lost the fact one object was standing on another when I tried to move the group but nothing else moved. I undid the change and when I regrouped the objects as above I could save and load the set in 1.7 and it worked as expected.

I haven't noticed any issues if you group in 1.7 and then try to manipulate the group even after saving and reopening.

Also, transparencies in saved FBX objects do not show when loading the object from a saved file or favorites. You see the alpha channel as black or white, not transparent. I have to reload objects with transparencies each time I load a project.

I'm glad it's working, but that's a bit weird that it required the 32-bit version to be installed. The two should be installed into separate places so are actually independent of one another. Unless it's something to do with the supporting dlls (VC Runtime, DirectX etc.) but those would have been on your machine already anyway. Hmmm... weird...

Hi,
Just a few things about this release.

The 4K is available on windows 8 or above and only on the 64 bit version. Your mileage may vary when using it as it is really down to the power and memory of your graphics card. Older cards probably won't work.
The issue in MrMuviz's post with the video playback will be a codec issue. These are generally a nightmare to figure out and are pretty much out of our hands. Jamie had something similar at one point in testing but uninstalling or re-installing some codecs fixed it, I think.
The build now targets Windows 7. It may work in Vista, but will almost certainly not work in XP.

Fazz, were you doing anything in particular when you got that crash or was it just starting up? If you haven't already, it's probably worth uninstalling it completely - and then re-installing it.

First up- big thanks on adding the 360 option- didn't expect that to come up and it's going to be fun to muck about with.
A few questions;
1. Is the 4k option available on 360 videos?
2. Is the 4k ever likely to come to win 7 or is it a technical limitation?
3. Might this lead to an introduction of the ability for bullet time shots in the future?
4. Unrelated but any chance of being able to direct cameras when they're grouped together as presently if you move a camera that is grouped, it just moves the single camera.

Nevermind that it's a low rez video, I use it just for sync.

The answer to that is both yes and no.

The mechanism used to play videos is different, it's no longer using DirectShow, but is using Microsoft Media Foundation instead (if that means anything to you.) This started to be introduced in Windows Vista as a replacement for DirectShow.

We switched as it seems to be the way forward for creating and playing back video, and we had a few reports of people having issues with video playback not working. (eg: http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4959-avi-video-not-playing-in-backdrops.aspx, http://www.muvizu.com/forum/topic5435-tech-help.aspx) And we'd seen the problem on a few machines internally too.

Looking through the bug report, Jamie uninstalled K-Lite and installed XVid as a standalone codec - then all worked as expected. I assume the video he had was using xvid or some other mp4 style codec.
As I said in my earlier post codec things are a nightmare and are hard to figure out, but I am fairly certain that's what it is.]]> Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:55:34 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5534-feb-2016-release-feedbackbugs.aspx Message from mrmuviz It just seems weird that it worked yesterday with v1.6 but today with v1.7 the .avi doesn't work

it an issue with the new 1.7 version, and not what video codec it is?
Nevermind that it's a low rez video, I use it just for sync.

Just a few things about this release.

The 4K is available on windows 8 or above and only on the 64 bit version. Your mileage may vary when using it as it is really down to the power and memory of your graphics card. Older cards probably won't work.
The issue in MrMuviz's post with the video playback will be a codec issue. These are generally a nightmare to figure out and are pretty much out of our hands. Jamie had something similar at one point in testing but uninstalling or re-installing some codecs fixed it, I think.
The build now targets Windows 7. It may work in Vista, but will almost certainly not work in XP.

Fazz, were you doing anything in particular when you got that crash or was it just starting up? If you haven't already, it's probably worth uninstalling it completely - and then re-installing it.]]> Fri, 26 Feb 2016 14:36:24 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5534-feb-2016-release-feedbackbugs.aspx Message from ritsmer Thanks!]]> Fri, 26 Feb 2016 13:30:27 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5534-feb-2016-release-feedbackbugs.aspx Message from mrmuviz Found another bug(for me at least) old .avi's that worked as textures before don't seem to work anymore.
Anyone else find this problem?

No issues with install on Windows 7 with Nvidia GeForce GT 620.

Tested :

Talk-Shush records correctly, can be moved on timeline and saved and reloaded
Rearranging character movements creating teleports which were resulting in regular crashes before, now works and can be saved and reloaded
Head movements save and reload
Old unloadable sets now load (nothing to complex in my archives...)
MP4 default settings worked for short video and lip sync looked good on short clip
Chinese Tree 1 is loading successfully

All of above worked smoothly for me.

Minor Bug?

If you set the initial dialogue state to Shush it seems to be ignored and a Talk is always entered at the start of the timeline. Simple workaround to record another talk (to toggle the buttons) and a shush at the start and then delete the extra talk from the timeline and all seems to be good.

The same as normal size/shape video.

Something is wrong with your process, the video isn't 360, just fisheyed. The MZ demo lets you look around from the center where the camera is located.

You can actually render in 4k?!
I'll have to try this out when my 360 test finishes! (I imagine my GPU will have a fit)

I had a HUGE scene too, it rendered fine, but the whole UI crawled, I thought it would crash. Have patience and a cup of tea while waiting and just leave it alone. It didn't help that I had Poser, Blender, Clip Studio, Chrome, IE and stickies all loaded at the same time. I'm sure if I rebooted and opened only Muvizu I could get better performance, but I'm an idiot.
My machine also didn't play the clip that smoothly, but again, I didn't free up resources. For my needs, I see me rendering a scene that I want the freedom to crop and pan through later in editing, so I will use it for that when appropriate. And for taking screen grabs in the highest def.

Also, they're right about the increased render times in 360 degrees. It's taking about half an hour to render a 10 second clip.
