Oh I agree. But it is disappointing that there is no autosave feature and fatal errors caused by the user taking a valid course of action aren't a good look.

Gatekeeper members Thanks for the link, I guess I must have created it when I originally joined a few years back, I have now deleted it.
Cheers!

Fatal Error Trying to direct my character I wanted to delete one of the movements from the timeline but somehow I deleted the entire timeline and with it the character. I pressed Ctrl "Z" hopefully but just got a fatal error message and on clicking OK Muvizu crashed losing me 1 hour's work.
Not enjoying Muvizu at this point in my own timeline.....

Help With Sony Vegas I know this thread is old but thought I'd just add, if you are using Sony Vegas make sure you select all of the video clips, right click choose 'switches' and ensure 'disable resampling' is selected before rendering. It can make a huge difference especially if you have cameras panning while an actor is also moving.

latest posts? Thanks fazz68

latest posts? When I click on what I assume is a latest post link on the community/forum page I get taken to the individual forum page and have to sift through to see what post the previous link referred to. Is there a trick to it?

There's an awful lot of trial and error - and going back to things after a bit of contemplation. Often less in more.

Yup, it's funny how many modern cop dramas forget that. I switch them off after a few secs of the camera jumping all over the place. Presumably the director thinks it adds tension and excitement, I just find it distracting and occasionally even nauseating. So I can understand what the Tutorial says about keeping the cameras simple, but it seems that in Muvizu at the moment even 'simple' is too hard.

They're brilliant, at this rate, you won't need any actors


Seriously, I agree. It would be hard to find better.

Camera control Funnily enough I had just been watching your trailer for "Amun-Ra" thinking, "Good grief, there's someone who knows how to work the cameras!"
2013/10/12 1:04:39
Camera control I'm guessing I'm not the first to ask this.
I have just watched the camera movement tutorial and wonder if there are any plans to implement keyframed camera positions? i.e. start here at this point in time and end up here in this position at this time.
Also the ability to have a camera "look at" a target" e.g. The demo of following the skeleton showed how difficult it is to use the "live record" model. Or can you stretch and compress the camera segments on the timelline (this would be good for all timeline activities not just cameras) to try and match things up.
Otherwise it looks like the camera operations in Muvizu are overly complex so I suspect many people settle for simple shots from multiple cameras edited together in post.

Beware the Eye of Amun-Ra Website released You really are squeezing every last bit out of Muvizu's capabilites. Beautiful sets and great acting

Plummeting assets ;) Thanks for the link ukBerty. Yeah I don't know why objects can't just appear on the ground when you add them to your set anyway without all the drama of skyfall but that is a minor gripe on my part.
You are right it would be nice to have the option to switch off collisions, but I know in Moviestorm we would be quite happy to have the option to switch it on

Plummeting assets ;) I knocked up a model steam engine in SketchUp and and imported it to Muvizu. I didn't give it a collision mesh as I thought Muvizu would create a default one. When it imported, it appeared high in the sky and fell right through through the floor, this caused a pop-up message box to appear saying something along the lines of "the object has fallen out of the world and has now been re-centred". I clicked OK and the loco appeared in the sky and fell through again On about the fifth go I managed to catch it and in its properties tab switch on the "Floats in the air" tag, which stopped the problem. But is this par for the course? I'm guessing I missed a tick box somewhere in this import process

Sketchup to Muvizu That is nice work, Dylly, really captures the Muvizu "look and feel". The 4-pane window is perhaps a bit modern-looking for Roman times though.

A word of warning...Sketchup Make!

Hi Guys, just returned from the boat to discover that Sketchup has been updated again.


They also changed the legal bumf to say you can't use stuff created using "Make" in any commerical way whatsoever. I queried Trimble about the use of props in movies (not sure how they would police it anyway) and this is the reply:-

"The new 'non-commercial' terms in Sketchup Make are intended to prevent use of that product for commercial work of any kind. Users of Sketchup v.8 are not subject to that term, so obviously you'd be free to continue to use that product for any use, commercial or otherwise."

"Unfortunately, we can't provide much guidance for folks without undermining the legal terms in our EULA. What I usually tell people is that our EULA wasn't designed to prevent people from using the product in normal, rational, everyday ways."

So basically don't upgrade from SketchUp 8 if you want to be legal

Moviestorm - Let your ideas run freely I couldn't criticize Muvizu, because I've never managed to get it to run, and the Voovees site couldn't accept my credit card when I tried to buy it. So Moviestorm is up on both those scores

I'd love to try both - they seem to have great features and great support staff (as does Moviestorm - I must add) but I do feel the cartoony look of both Muvizu and Voovees would limit me.

However like kkffoo says maybe its because I am one of MS's older demographic - horses for courses
