loads monster sets much faster after a total reinstall, for some reason. Not complainin' )


About 2 years ago I suggested that re-installing makes things quicker, eben though I was only half convinced myself. So....

I always install a new version alongside my working version (just in case there's any show stoppers). I license and sort out the couple of options I want. Then I copy the folder to "c:\program files\Muvizu play fresh install" or something. When I notice things slowing down I delete the contents of the live Muvizu Play folder and copy in my fresh version.

With the patched version you can Cut and Paste the 'submerged' characters back to the surface, and the invisibility can be manually fixed, so it's still pretty usable until it gets fixed proper. Also, like MDW13 says, it is good to hear from HQ more frequently.]]> Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:12:24 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5025-6715-release-bugs.aspx Message from mcmillan-ra

wdeprospo seems to be right on the bleeding edge of Muvizu releases and finding the bugs:
6. Audio on the timeline plays but the waveform is missing.

We're here with some good news. We've fixed a few bugs with an interim patch release, as we work towards the next full release of Muvizu:Play. You should get prompted to update. (Or you can download afresh - and reinstall that way if you prefer.)

Here's what we've fixed (and I'm using the number system from this thread):

#1 Invisibility changes - not patched, but will be fixed in the next full release
#2 Lightning strike (character or object properties) - fixed in the patch
#3 Superheros sitting, this was fixed a couple releases ago - you may need to un-install and re-install the superheroes to make them work.
#4 Sound effects broken - fixed in the patch
#5 Favourite characters below the ground - Not patched, but will be in the next full release

There's a few other things to do with backwards compatibility there too that weren't on here. Video uploading will be available on the website again, early next week.

It's really great to see all the activity on the forums again, and we hope to see much more of it with each update in the future.

Cheers
Robert

Just the main download link? Kewl. I thought it would be an updater, but I can work with it. Big Grin Many thanks!

I suggest you install the new version separately because of the bugs above so that you can revert to your older version if you want to.]]> Thu, 16 Jul 2015 15:56:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5025-6715-release-bugs.aspx Message from filkertom Many thanks!]]> Thu, 16 Jul 2015 15:46:54 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5025-6715-release-bugs.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 http://www.muvizu.com/Get-Muvizu
and you can use a download manager to help prevent corrupt downloads: http://muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/64/download-managers (just copy the URL you get for your required Muvizu version and paste it into one of those programs.)

And d/l'ing from within Muvizu+ is, seriously, a pain -- basically, it takes over the machine for a few minutes, and then I can't use Muvizu until it decides to finish, which it hasn't in five tries.

Any chance we could get a simple direct download?

Game over for me as well then I'm afraid.

Directing Character Properties (Expression/Custom Texture/Skin etc) no longer works. You can go into the Prepare bit okay, and the Initial State works, but when you record nothing happens when you move the slider/click the new texture/whatever. Bummer. Can't use this software without them any more, I find, especially the Expressive slider. Please fix fast

But the truth is, they are there, just below the ground plane! Pull them up through the floor into the air, they will drop back to the floor. If for some reason anyone can't pull them up, use the scale slider to make them bigger. Now THAT'S a wild bug.

1. As wdeprospo pointed out ( http://www.muvizu.com/forum/topic5024-todays-download.aspx?p=f#post25765 ), there's a problem with the character visibility/invisibility that only the main body is invisible:


(fixed) 2. Also, I can't get the lightning strike effect to trigger in direct object properties.
(Update) I can't get ANY property of any object to animate.



(fixed)3. The beefy character seems to be sat by default even when set to standing, but I seem to remember seeing a thread about this before.
