Posts: 2 		Hello guys I am new, and I am coming from Microsoft kids 3d movie maker. Out of all the quick movie making software's muvizu is most like that old software, but it lacks alot of the features that old thing has. I believe I can give good ideas to help improve muvizu. dont get me wrong Muvizu is awesome and a far cry better!! but I am sure people would like to make a tank drive over a car and squash it in this software. Big Grin

Anyway how do I animate the rotation and scale of an object or character? like in the that old windows 98 movie maker software. If this feature is not in this software animating the rotation and scale seems like a great idea, same as moving the object the same way a character is moved by the mouse.

...and *I* believe they would be most welcome! We take a great deal of pride in Muvizu, and that pride comes entirely from putting as many smiles on our users' faces as possible. We listen to every bit of feedback we receive and try hard to implement every feature that the community cries out for when we can, so please do feel free to share your ideas and we'll do our best to implement whatever we can further down the line.

Object rotation and movement can be easily animated in Muvizu by simply clicking on the object and using the Prepare > Object Properties and Direct > Object Properties features. Character and object scale can also be easily changed by double-clicking on a character or object and moving the "Scale" slider up and down (this is usually found under the "Body" tab in the edit window for characters). Animating scale is something that's not so easily done right out the box and is something we should perhaps look into, though in the meantime if you want to give the impression of something changing scale over time then you could render out several videos with the character or object at different scales every time and use clever post-Muvizu editing to cut between shots and give the impression of an object or character gradually changing in size by making it slightly bigger or smaller every time you cut away from and back to it...?

Thanks again for your interest, and we hope you stick around and become a regular face in our little community here!
