images on floating backgrounds. Very tedious to do.


This is something of an understatement.

Being an optimist, I'm putting two things together here: the Muvizu devs' curious lack of a reply to the thread, even if only to tell us to shut up, and the fact that the little teaser video for the new version mentioned tons of new accessories. I'm hoping perhaps this very feature is already sketchily implemented and they're just waiting to tell us? Maybe? Possibly?

Muvizu movie Vote I generally do best at the "spoof" genre, but that's when working alone. In collaboration I'd be happy to try any or all of those.

Industrial-scale collaboration If I could somehow do none of that but get all the credit, I'd be first to sign up!

I'm still very new to using the software and getting the results I imagine but I sure do love acting and can throw out a voice or two. I've also found a real enjoyment in the editing process. Anyone needing help? I'd be happy to give it a shot.

As for my vision, I think the good news is that it can't be compromised since I have none. laugh

Industrial-scale collaboration I'm not working with anyone because I cannot let my artistic vision be compromised.

Or no wait, it's probably because I'm a jerk. One or the other...

Eyeball movement Very helpful - thanks!

Break Up Stories:- Need a few Animators... Commented on YouTube but it bears repeating: that is great work. The camera work and actions make this look very real. Easy to forget I'm watching a cartoon.

Coming soon I'm drooling already - this looks AWESOME!

Holding Poses mid animation I'm sure you weren't must have been something different in the machine. I was actually hoping it would work on mine as it would be a valuable feature!

Holding Poses mid animation Just for fun I just tried the stop recording trick and it didn't work for me. The character froze when I stopped recording but resumed the movement when I started again.

Textures everywhere Great news indeed - thanks!

Which 3 additional features would you most like 1 - I like the idea of attachable props and don't mind if it's part of the character base versus actually picking something up.

2 - a better system for moving the characters and cameras. The bulk of any animation I've done has been spent trying to get movement right without much success

3 - texturing for characters and props.

I'm actually pretty happy with the stock animations, a system for changing the time would be nice, but not a deal breaker.

Holding Poses mid animation The "idle trick" works more for controlling the length of time of a movement so you can cut it short if you want. I've never found anything that allows a character to hold the pose, although it would be nice.

I'm ranting again, but for a good cause: Muvizu.


Well said. I'm sure that changing the modeling would be a massive undertaking but invariably the greatest addition to the program. Custom textures, and certain movements, and even a "netural mood" would all be fabulous. But a few simple items that a character can hold would make me do backflips just before going to the hospital for all the injuries I'd sustain by doing backflips. There's several movements like firing a gun... yet no gun. Or writing at a desk, yet no pen. This realyl would help tremendously.

Which video editing software do you use? ziggy72 wrote:
I use the sound tracks on the clips to cue the shots together, then delete them and use the original audio instead.


Absolutely the same process here.

Which video editing software do you use? I have both Vegas Pro 10 and Vegas Studio 9 (the home user version) and both are incredible. The Pro version has more in depth titling and text features that I'll probably never use. The Home Studio version is the one I use more and it fantastic. I would definitely recommend it.

One caveat: it doesn't like Muvizu output for some reason. This is a known issue and there was a tip somewhere on this board to just resave the files using Virtual Dub, which is free. Works like a charm!

This would be an brilliant feature IMO.


I agree, that would be excellent. You could literally design the character from the ground up. This would even include giving them tattoos or scars or whatever. A genius idea!

Textures everywhere I don't mind the hair, but I would most definitely back the ability to add custom textures to anything.

And wow, a Max Headroom reference?!? I'm sad to admit I got it...

I will write music for your film for free That is really very generous and I just may take you up on it if I ever get off my lazy butt and get working on a project that requires scoring.

I liked what I was hearing on the samples you provided - sounded great!

I think those would both fall under the umbrella of sketches as well, and sketches in which we're supposed to see one absurd villain scheme after another fail.

And villain's can most cetainly be sympathetic. Hans Gruber in Die Hard was one you enjoyed watching, and even felt good when he broke into the vault and got the money. He had motivation and worked to make it succeed. He wasn't cold and evil just for the sake of being a bad guy, he had a plan and wanted to make it work.

I was referring more to cretins who you wouldn't like if you knew them in real life. They're supposed to be the hero but they're actually a lowlife bum who makes your skin crawl. It ruins the story because since the major dynamic is their success, and you don't want them to succeed, the entire movie fizzles.
