Problem solved. Had accidentally moved in the sequencer.

I can resize on the timeline, but not at time zero. (i realize the blue line is the path).. but what could I have done that would lock the size at time zero?

I can't resize a character layer. Timeline at 0, when I go to do it, the red box disappears. There is a blue line with dots along it leading from a point of origin.

Other characters resize without an issue. Can someone tell me what's going on here? Thanks!

I don't mean squashing him down. i mean adjusting him wider. Then I'd like to keep him looking that way as the "new" him... so this is not a timeline thing. The question is simply the distortion that occurs should he, for example.. raise his arms. what I'd like to do is then be able to adj...

Let's say I have a layer, a bone or group layer containing several other layers. In this case, we'll say an entire character. I want to put some weight on this character. In my current model, this means I've got to widen the drawings in several layers with the transform points tool. I could just use...

That did it Victor. Thanks!

that doesn't help victor. I don't know if it matters, but this is a file I had worked on in ASP10 and converted to ASP11. Seems to be happening in all the files I converted.

I can select the bone using the bone select tool and hide it manually. then see the points as I am drawing. Is there an easier way to do this that's not such a pain in the rear?

When I go to the transform point tool, i see the bones. when i hide the bones, using the checkbox above the timeline , i can't see the points. am i doing something wrong? this is uber annoying and makes drawing more difficult. I want to draw without seeing the bones, but i want to see the points..

anyone have an example of rolling wheels?

i need a rail to fold down, but i need the uprights to fold with it. not sure how to make the bones for that.

If you seem to be having problems with any binding, you can release the layer and points, and then start over. after a bit, binding is old hat and you won't be thinking twice about it. when i first started, it took me 2 days to do a character, and it was wobbly at best. now i can pop out 3 character...

Larry, when I am on a patch layer, only layer binding appears to be available. how do you get at the patch layer points to bind them? that's an interesting technique.

Let's say you've got a bald guy, but with very short hair on the sides. Like he shaves his head once every week or so. I'm looking for a "spray on" look for head or facial hair, which doesn't modify the shape of the face/head the way a full head of hair or a beard would do. Hoping in the n...

Of course, every answer breeds another question (and only one if you're lucky)... the question is how to control the bones in the sublayers during animation. I note that when I use the transform bone tool to move the bones during animation, all is fine. when i use the manipulate bones tool to move t...
