No substitute for just animating in this case.

Yes, smart bones only work with bone rotation, but you can make rigs to control that rotation using another bone's scale or position. Here's an example using a scaling bone: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4yu8wpezdnipu5a/scale_smart_bone.moho/file Position control would just be moving the targeted b...

Yeah, that would be the most sensible for me too.

Rai's Shapes Window script can change color of all or selected shapes in a layer: viewtopic.php?t=36508

I'm not sure silhouettes would be useful, but we could definitely use onionskin for selected shapes only just like we have for select layers. That would allow more isolation within a layer to cut down the clutter.

I have created a Smartbone action that corrects placement of points and handles when B1 is scaled (picture ‘A’). BUT - when back on the main timeline and when bone B1 is scaled, the smartbone action is not being applied. (Picture ‘B’). Smart bones only work for bone rotation, not scale or translati...

Using the draw behind option may help.

Yeah, inadvertently or forgotten muted channels have been a common trip up in the past. They're harder to catch once they're hidden in a smart bone action. Seems to be less so nowadays, hopefully due to awareness of the feature. Comparing v5 or 6 with 14.1 is such a huge leap. I know some people sti...

Click on it then hit delete or backspace.

This is by design, apparently to make the frame by frame workflow less confusing.

If you need access to the sublayers, you'll need to convert the FBF layer into a switch layer.

Animated layer order is enabled for its sublayers.

Yeah, that's a very interesting idea. If it toggles the dialog on and off, you might not need to move it. Just hit the shortcut, use the dialog, and hit the shortcut again to dismiss it.

Mike's moved on to 3D animation exclusively, as mo-cap makes it less work. Looks like he's still active on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQIIws ... ePF30hYrRA

https://i.ibb.co/1sqnBxg/Untitled.gif At the risk of sounding like a total noob... I don't get what you're doing with the bones here. (Bear in mind that I've never worked with bone layers other than for the simplest of tasks.) Could you elaborate a bit? https://www.mediafire.com/file/a7kf412nclq3sg...
