3ds Max :: Animation Timeline And Moving Gizmo Disappear

View 1 RepliesI am wondering if it is possible to move/focus the manipulator gizmos in Maya.
If I for example am working on a tall plank and want to align the bottom part with something I'd zoom in to be more precise, but since the manipulator is stuck in the middle of the plank I have to zoom out anyway and find a spot where I'm fairly zoomed in but still can see the manipulator.. If there is a way to make the manipulator follow on the screen when i zoom in (without altering the pivot point) I'd be able to work so much easier.I am of course talking about all the manipulators (move, rotate and scale).
Is there a way to use geometry with mods (like ripples or waves for instance) as an atmospheric gizmo for volume fog?
I want to conform the shape of the gizmo to a animated geometry, instead of the rigid boxes and spheres.

In the timeline panel in CS6 EXTENDED, you have a video feature, where you can animate three things:
Position Style Opacity
What I would like to know, is: How can I animate rotation of a layer? I want to rotate my layer at an angle and animate it. But when I rotate, the first animation frame is also rotated, resulting in NO animation between the frames.
I am completely new to movie editing of any sort and Corel VS x6 Ultimate is my first dipping of my toes so to speak.
When I import a movie into the timeline, the sound from that movie plays for approximately the first 2-4 minutes, and then cuts out. When looking at the sound mixer in the timeline, I can see where the wave simply cuts out at a point between 2 - 4 minutes (the actual time varies for each movie but it is within that 2-4 minutes bracket for all).
I have imported several movies and it is the same for each of them. The only time it doesn't happen is if the imported film itself is only of short duration (3-4 minutes). The other movies all are of approximately 10 minutes duration.
Is there a limit to how long a movie must be when importing to VS? If so, it seems awfully short?
The movies are game recordings made in game using Nvidia Shadow play. All of them play perfectly fine in an actual movie player with the full recorded sound throughout.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the VS software to no avail. I'd really lik to edit the raw footage from the games to make some nice edited movies (figured I would use these game movies to learn the VS software).
I move a guideline, vertical one, so I'm moving it in the horizontal plane... and it disappears when I drop it.
But then, if I click somewhere else on the screen, it reappaers.
New to CAD, so probably typical newby problem. When I try to draw (in Nanocad, since it's the only one I can afford) I don't see what I'm doing, i.e. the lines and figures keep disappearing when I move the cursor. Trying again I see my drawings very briefly and then they're gone again. Tried all and every button, menu etc. and hardware is okay.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm new to the animation aspect of 3Ds Max and I have a running cycle that is stationary but would like to figure out how to get it to move forward? I didn't use Footsteps in the Motion Panel to have a base to work with and modify it. What are my options? I have the weekend off from work to mess with it and if I have to do the hard part of moving the biped forward myself, I'll do so. Would I be able to create Footsteps and attach them to my biped with the animation I have? Or is there a system, option, etc. that I should set up in the beginning before animating that would allow me to move the feet and the rest would follow using the biped?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have added some pictures too the timeline(slideshow) and i want too add some pictures between items on the timeline. i would like to move items too the right side, including music, text that is already placed underneath the pictures.
With adobe premiere this is really simple, i have watched about 100 clips at you tube but can't find it. I have tried using the CTRL key but than i need to select each item seperate...way to much work to select hundreds of items.
I'm working on a lengthy video highlights project with many clips less than 5 seconds and want to know the easiest way to bulk move at least 10+ clips at a time on the timeline to either an earlier or later point than they're currently at. In essence, I'm hoping that I can "bulk" cut and paste all these clips together instead of doing it one clip at a time by either dragging each individual clip or cutting and pasting.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a chain moving along a spline, and I want to know how to make the chain disappear when it reaches a certain point, then reappear when it moves out of that point. I don't want the whole chain disappearing, i just want the part of the chain that has moved off of the spline.
I suppose you could say i'm trying to hide it.
I'm trying to make the clawshot from twilight princess. The chain shoots out a hundred feet, but then disappears when it goes into the device.
I have not renamed or moved original elements, yet when I recently opened an on-going project in Photoshop Elements 4.0, about 1/4 of the media elements were gone. Why? Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Anyway to recover these slides? Can't see that any photos, etc in the Organizer have broken links.

I use photoshop for frame-by-frame animaiton (Not flash) and the new Timeline is confusing me. How do I use this new time line for frame-by-frame animation similar to the Animation Timeline in Cs5?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am trying to learn how to do a small animation. I have Timeline window open at bottom of screen but do not understand how to get images into the space. Everything is grayed out. I have read the Adobe tutorial but nothing really says how to place key frames into the timeline space. I watched a YouTube video but it started with there already being an image there and then they showed how to copy and change it so an animation could be achieved.

It is about 3 seconds long on the timeline, and cannot be extended, I tried to drag but it cannot be dragged further, you can only make it shorter. The thing is that my animation is 30s long, and i want the object to be visible till the end. I know I can always duplicate the layer several times and move it, but that results in bigger file, more layers...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying out the new Photoshop Creative Cloud, and probably the most annoying thing is that the animation panel always opens up and covers up things / gets in the way at start or whenever I open a new file.
View 3 Replies View RelatedLong-time PS user here, however for 2 years now my home version of Photoshop CS4 seemingly axed the Timeline portion of its animation panel. I've sort of accepted it until now, but recently I wanted to try some hand-drawn animation. As you can see this a significant speed bump. How to restore/reopen that portion of Photoshop, or am I just crazy in thinking CS4 ever had it to begin with?

I have checked the looping option to 'Once', but when I play it or place it in an email it loops forever. It only plays once when I open it in the web browser, or when I preview it in Photoshop.

I've made a separate layer for the fire, but can't figure out how to make it so that I can change the shape and colors over time on the timeline. This is a 10 second sequence.

For some reason I cannot choose between Video Timeline & Frame Animation in the Timeline window. I do not know why, I've looked in the Timeline panel options, still nothing.
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 and I am trying to switch from Frames to Timeline in the Animation Panel. I have read in other forums that there should be a menu in the bottom right corner of the panel, but none is appearing in my panel.
