OMG! I think this "auto center new layers" option has been tripping me up for years. I would move an object in to group and it would shrink. So I would resize and move it.
But things would never look or behave right.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I gotta agree with braj on this one. My biggest gripe with anime studio. Every version I cross my fingers and hope it's better but nope. I admit I'm just a casual user. I will do a fun little project then not touch the program for a few months then do another little project. And each time I ne...

I'll wait til I finish my project. (Unless I hear there are no worries)

Has anyone tried using Anime Studio with new Mac OS yet (Yosemite)? I'd like to up grade OS but also in the middle of a animation project. Should I wait, or go for it?

thanks Ronbo, I stand corrected. There is in fact an up to date users manual. May I however suggest to the developers that when you click on the help menu, there is a link named "manual" rather than a link named (yet again) "help".

....."There's been enough advancements in v10 that I really hope someone puts together a good step by step video (or series) for building characters, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of some of the different ways it can be accomplished, of the different bone binding methodologies an...

Yes, good thoughts. Thanks for your input. If I had more time I would have kept tweaking and improving but it was not a paid gig and I had to get it out there before the party! It's tempting to keep improving just for the sake of perfection but it would serve no purpose at this point. Better to star...

excited to finish my first project with anime studio. This is a promotional video for a party being held in Philadelphia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN6mL_4bUlY&feature=youtu.be I do realize there is a slight problem with the audio balance but unfortunately I ran out of time and wanted to ge...

great work!

great work! Inspires me to continue with mine!

just a follow up: as suggested by Animark, selecting all points in a layer and then clicking on "release points" in the bones menu corrected the unwanted "hidden bone" effect. In cases where layers were inside of bone layers, clicking on "release layer" in the bone menu...

good show! I will try to repeat your steps and see if I have the same luck. Like I said, I already recreated this rig. But would like to see how to get out of jams like this in the future! Thanks.

here is the file. Thanks for looking.

thanks for the idea. I tried going to each layer, and releasing points and layers. Did not fix. Very strange. I can create just ONE bone and then when I try to offset it, it always drags a different part of the body with it. I definitely think this is a bug at this point. :shock: Well, I have just g...

switching from region binding (which is what I would use) to flexible makes no change in behavior. Moving the first bone still moves layers without bones and child bones still do not influence layers under them. Remember, all this did work 2 days ago. It's only after deleting and recreating bone hie...
