You cannot have the character's head moving too much. Then load them into your editor and create a split-screen, one half where the don't blink and the other where they do blink, putting the dividing line right between the eyes.

Here's an example:



It's not a perfect solution, but it does work to some degree.

I should probably add that the control of this new "not breathing" feature will be a checkbox in the character's edit dialog. It won't be something that you can turn on and off within a movie. I'm assuming (hoping) this is still all fine and dandy?



That was said by a Muvizu staff member on another topic.

I believe you can, but cannot edit it's status during recording.

Ah, sorry, wasn't near my Muvizu machine so I couldn't check.

Perhaps they need to make their sticky note board public.

Posts: 13 		Big Wally et al, thanks all. That wink you made is quite nice. Impressive. I'll give it a go, but…
Any chance of a "wink" button in some iteration down the line??

Yes, I've noticed too that the "not breathing" doesn't quite not breathe.
Again thanks.
