As for the movement bug, there's not much you can do except use the double click method rather than dragging the disc.]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2015 11:41:09 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from sdt4u Fri, 02 Jan 2015 04:56:02 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 Instead of dragging the white movement disc under the character, double click where you want the character to go. This should stop the problem.]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2014 10:44:59 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from quique Sun, 28 Dec 2014 00:51:53 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from Newbie54 griessen wrote:

Well I'm not sure how this information fixed your problem. There is no way to remove Directx9, at least from a Windows 7 install, and my Muvizu defaulted to using the DirectX11 installed on my system. Every single issue you point out, is exactly the bugs that are happening to the movement track. All the semi-work-arounds, closing and reopening allowing a single replay of the first movement block, etc, behave in the same way. Yet the *magical* fix you're claiming, isn't even an option.

This program is bugged to the point of being unusable, which is sad because what it appears to do (until you begin to use it), is very cool.

Muvizu:Play+
The movement bug does not prevent movement of characters, it just locks a character sometimes. The easiest work around is to use the double click method to direct the characters movement, and some reports have suggested using direct x 9 instead of 11 is helpful to avoid it.
Reply I got from Muvizu.
also mentioned a update to fix but no date of when.
I will just try to work around the bug for now.]]> Sat, 06 Dec 2014 09:20:27 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from griessen Tue, 14 Oct 2014 05:35:25 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from oziabla

Muvizu tech support have since confirmed that yes, having multiple versions of DirectX installed on your system can cause this problem. So it was time well spent. (Muvizu is rocking along now.)]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2014 10:15:19 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 Next time I get it I'll see if that helps.]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:43:33 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from oziabla
The problem went away only after I changed the rendering type.]]> Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:39:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from ukBerty Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:43:57 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from oziabla
I went to File >> Options

Then I changed to rendering to DirectX 11 (DirectX 9 was selected, presumably a default option).

I can record and modify movements now, as well as make additional movement recordings.

(You have to quit and restart Muvizu after changing the rendering type).

I've raised a support ticket, so we'll see what they have to say.]]> Mon, 28 Jul 2014 05:35:47 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from fazz68 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 05:24:19 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from oziabla Mon, 28 Jul 2014 04:21:09 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from oziabla
1 - If I exit the program, re-open it, open the timeline and click play, it WILL play the first movement, but not the second.
2 - Once I touch the timeline for any other reason, (including the "rewind to start" button) there will be no further movement until I exit and re-open Muvizu.
3 - If I exit the program, re-open it, and immediately go to "Make video", it will include the first movement in the video, but not the second.
4 - If I hit the "PLAY" button in the "preview" tab of the "make video" screen, then there will be no movement ever again (...until I quit and re-open).

So it appears that the first movement will work once and once only, and only upon opening the program, and only as long as I don't do "anything" beforehand. By "anything" I mean any possible action, including simply clicking on an object.

(As you can tell, I have been opening and closing Muvizu a LOT to figure all this out).]]> Mon, 28 Jul 2014 04:19:42 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3764-unable-to-replay-movements.aspx Message from oziabla
Here are two screenshots which illustrate my current problem. It is happening on both my installs (both on Windows 8.1, ample RAM and GPU cards. One of these is a paid install, the laptop one is a free install)

Once I have directed the movements, I can drag the timeline pointer around and the character follows the movements.

However, when I press "PLAY" on the timeline, nothing happens. You can see that the timeline is in roughly the same position in both images, so the dog should be walking across the front of the shot, as above.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug of some kind?

Thanks.

EDIT - one key point I left out in the above. In each case, I have changed the location of the "movement" block in the timeline after I recorded it. This seems to be what causes the problem.
