I spent gosh another 3 hours the other night trying to animate rosie in an old set I had no scroll bar and I was just finding I was getting lost in the interface. I can't really describe it. I was trying to use the other characters in the scene from an old video and add her in. I gave up. I found myself flipping and clicking buttons constantly because keeping them all in the timeline made it difficult because it just well massive yet removing them is time consuming and then I found i wanted to add and arrange an action I had just created and well there was no way to scroll i was hoping from queue to queue point Yes i know supposedly there is a scroll bar, but it was not there i am thinking i was in the "other timeline" for her character when I was recording the actions. So I had a choice of two timelines to work with I guess. Whatever has been done to it i am constantly shutting it down and doing something else or using 23b and saying "Its not done yet".

Quite honestly 23b has a better design I can manage it. Its possible because I am used to a more steamlined management system when things get that complicated that I find it unmanageable, but the reality is for me I am starting to say "iclone is easier for this". I tend to pick the best tool for the job I dont descriminate between platforms I have quite literally everything ever made that I know of hehe. Muvizu's strenghts were in the easy fun quick timeline with this new added layer i am finding myself turning to something else to do the work in. Maybe in a month I will try again but at the moment I find myself forcing myself to use a software and its become "unfun" and I am not getting the same results i was and its taking me longer to get any result. I found myself the other day putting it away and working on something else hoping this gets fixed, but I think it is fixed haha (well except for one or two crazy sets that are slow to load) and I still am wrestling with the software. I can't really explain it its an issue of how things are spacewise and the amount of space they take up. I can probably muddle through however I dont think I will be obtaining the same results I had in the past I seemed to have less control and not more and I spent most of my time shuffling things so I could see what I was doing and its become something of a chore and a chore I dont want to do (this is after all for me a creative outlet more then anything and if it aint fun i dont wanna do it ^^)


(anyhow that is my answer but I keep saying it. I dont know how else to explain it.. its I guess 'organized chaos' when i work with it.. I wont post about it anymore if everyone else is happy I just I can't work with it lol /shrug) I suspect the scrollbar is a bug .. its just in all that chaos I can't really tell anymore..


I will add this phrase unfortunately its not going to help much more 'unusuable crowded clunky ui' if others can use it great however I cannot without getting lost in it. Its better but unfortunately its huge and clunky and crowded and there is no other way to describe it :/ . From what I am gathering no one is having a problem with it so I can't really say anymore other then its unusable crowded and clunky and really I can't use it. I am sorry if people feel that is not contructive but I have shown screenshots of things that are a bit more streamlined and given long long descriptions.

well its nice i love muvizu and would like to continue but cannot because its giving me issues. I feel squeezed out. I jumped on muvizu because i loved it. Now I can't use it. This is not a choice that I made I can't use it. This choice was made by muvizu not me. So unless something changes I am being forced to do all my work in iclone. not by choice I had plans and had written about commercial use. I can't use it the timeline is giving me grief moving along it. I wish I was being heard but it does seem that its been decided and therefore not by choice I am forced to stop what i was doing again NOT my choice and do something else. Oh well my heart is broken actually I was having so much fun. Unless something happens to make that timeline easier to work with and i am not fighting with it and I am indeed fighting with it. I cannot continue. This is not "to each his own" I want to continue and my heart is broken because I CAN'T.


Urbanlamb, can I please ask you a couple of questions?

Why do you think you're not being heard? We've responded to all your requests. I even have your large set currently loaded into Muvizu on my screen right now trying to look at the crash-on-exit problem you reported. I don't see how we can try any harder to fix any issues you're having.

You repeatedly say that "I can't use it", but you don't actually offer much explanation of WHY you can't use it. Can you explain in a bit more depth why you think the timeline is currently unusable?

Why do you say (in a later post) that the scroll bar has gone from the timeline? It's right there, at the bottom, as you described.


(Edited for typos and formatting)

Oh No!

Don't be broken hearted!!

I may have missed some of your recent posts but could you explain exactly what is the problem you are having at the moment that is preventing you from using Muvizu?

I thought that the main problem was that the timeline was opening with all items displayed causing a lag but now it opens with only animated items showing as default. This solved it for me.

The ability to move up and down the timeline is something which I actually find easier to do now with the snapping turned off and the zoom feature seems more fluid too.

If you could describe exactly what your problem is then I'll try and replicate it to see if it happens at my end. Maybe that will help Muvizu HQ if two of us can describe in our words what is happening?

Again, sorry if I have missed your previous posts explaining your issues.

Cheers

Yeah wish I could agree I couldn't even scroll left and right on the timelines I had to figure out a way to navigate using queue points if my timeline is longer then the window.(

You can use the shift key and the mouse wheel to scroll left and right in the timeline. You can also zoom using the control key and the mouse wheel. I hope that helps.]]> Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:49:01 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2696-arnold-and-the-box-my-1000th-post.aspx Message from urbanlamb edited by urbanlamb on 24/04/2013]]> Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:44:13 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2696-arnold-and-the-box-my-1000th-post.aspx Message from Dreeko My clip was about 3 mins too...

I'm not at all fond of Iclone. Muvizu is far more user friendly in my eyes.
To each their own though!]]> Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:39:07 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2696-arnold-and-the-box-my-1000th-post.aspx Message from urbanlamb edited by urbanlamb on 24/04/2013]]> Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:33:30 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2696-arnold-and-the-box-my-1000th-post.aspx Message from Dreeko toonarama wrote:
Loved the sketch - just my short of humour and you made brilliant use of the new features in PLAY to animate the eyes. Fantastic how you managed to get all his feelings across using only his eyes and voice.



Thanks Toon!

Yes, I sometimes find that I'm better keeping the Character movements to a minimum!

Here is my latest strange little video created this time using Muvizu Play for the first time.

I'm pleased to report that I did not encounter any crashes and the whole creation process was as fluid as before (I used a very simple set mind you to be on the safe side!)

The separation of the eye lids direction from the pupils is a great addition, as is the double click to enter properties.

Anyhoo... Here it is!
