Posts: 21 		hi guys i have 2 problems:

1) yeasterday i was playing with muzivo to waste time at work (lol i'm too fast to done my job xD) and i found a problem with head and eyes movements...
i "recorded" both head and eyes but only one of these were played...I checked the timeline and it was ok and can't find the problem

2) sometimes, in particular when i close and open again the project, when i make the video the character, intead run, slide on the ground for a small distance and then start again to run but when i play the video moving manually the arrow of the timeline the character run without any problem

sorry for english :P

I've had the same problem (in the two vids I've posted here).
None of the recorded eye movements for my Ghosty Dog lead guitarist (far right) play. A number of recorded (silent) speech/mouth movement in the organ solo don't play as well.

Regarding effects, I noticed the laser beams disappeared completely when I was recording camera cuts with the dry ice going, but they appear and work well in the final render.

My Radeon integrated graphics chip has only 256mb of ram (I thought it was 512mb initially), and the 2.1 mhz processor is going flat out the whole time Muvizu is open, so I suspect there's some heirachy of what the processor does and doesn't process while trying to keep up.
What are the specifications of your computer alakyr? That may have something to do with it.

I tried this out here and it seems to work ok. Could you send me your .set file so I can have a look in it please.

Also can you tell me exactly how/what you did.

Thanks Alan.

It's something we will need to check for when the next build is ready for testing

Posts: 1988 		Also noticed that moving the start of the timeline too close to the start of a character animation/movement block can cause sliding too, especially in the Make Video window. It seems that you can overlap the blocks with the start of the timeline okay (but not always), but there is a little buffer you might have to leave in the Timeline between the start point and the animation block to avoid it going into slidey mode. Again, works me for at least
