When this happens, are the characters standing on top of a stage or objects?

Cheers,

Everyone's posts on it always mention movement, and I've only had it happen to me when movement has been assigned to a character. It's almost like the characters are teleporting to the wrong place (but at the right time). Just a fot.

Humm!!!

Anyway... We manage to reproduce this without the characters standing on objects/backdrops. It is still a very rare occurrence though.

Sounds like a must see video!

And I find that once it happens once, no matter how rare, it then happens every time. One time I selected the character and chose "Move to" in the scene window and the whole area went black. I was never able to Move To anything else and even opening new set files kept everything black. I think it really does teleport the character somewhere outside the viewable area.

Chasing a goat is all above board and legal, it's when you start acting the goat that you have to start filling in legal aid forms and avoiding questions from the local press!Whaaaaa?

Thankfully I've not had this happen to me... And I've never found myself in pursuit of a goat either incidentally!

Yep, the character goes underground. If you follow him there you won't be able to return back to the set.
We are gathering all the info we can so we can squash this bugger.

Thanks everyone.

Posts: 471 		Something I've noticed involves the timeline. In older versions of Muvizu I could adjust things pretty accurately by taking the action squares and "snapping" them to the cue points.

For example, when I create an action for a character afterwards I usually slide the characters action square around on the timeline until I get the action timed just right. In the older version of Muvizu I would do this by putting a cue point on the timeline near where I wanted the action to take place and when I moved the square it would "snap" to the cue points position. I'd then move the que point and the square little by little until I got the timing perfect.

I used this method a LOT when I created my musical animations and the results were pretty darn good.

I've noticed in the new version of Muvizu the action squares don't seem to "snap" to the que points anymore. I'm finding it very difficult to achieve the same accuracy with the new version of Muvizu that I had with the old version.

So I guess my "wish list" is to have the ruler marks back on the timeline and to have things "snap" to the que points again.

The thing I really miss from the old timeline was the ability to drag it left and right to find the bits you needed quickly. Now you have to click on it and drag the play marker which is so sluggish and imprecise it's like trying to push a snail up a flight of stairs. Made of jelly.

I think I seen your video, well a video on youtube but I can't find it right now. There are a few eyes where one of the pupils won't move. The "Lazy Eye" does this by desgin and the others are severed eye (the one hanging out doesn't move) and war head eye (one eye is replaced with a warhead) and a couple of eyes that don't have pupils to move (zombie eye and fly eyes).

I tried all of the eyes and apart from what I've listed above, they all appear to be working as expected. If you had this with another set of eyes, could you let me know what ones and what you did to get the character? (E.g. created a fresh character in the latest version, opened a saved set from a previous version or maybe loaded a favourited character?).

Posts: 1988 		Okay, been bugging me for ages - can we please get rid of the empty wastes of the grey bars? What do I mean? Have a look at the current timeline :



Now, here's what I'd suggest :



Also think the time indicator should be bigger too. Thoughts?

Thanks, I think that I had a lazy eye. It gives a good effect if you ask me!

Looks like there is room to improve the timeline. Originally, though, the idea was that by making the different sections collapsible this wouldn't be a problem as you could hide the ones your not working with. I guess that doesn't work to well if you asking for extra space to be removed?

What time indicator do you mean? I think there are a few on the timeline.
