Does the script put camera move keyframes in the timeline? If so, just clear the animation from the camera moves track in the timeline.

I've only seen that in ray-trace rendering. AS does not use ray trace, which is normally only seen in 3D applications. So the short answer is, in AS it can't be done.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Copy Current Frame option under the Animation menu will do that. Just copy the current frame TO the current frame.

Download this free program: http://www.lostmarble.com/papagayo/index.shtml

Then take a look at my lip synch tutorial here: http://fiziwig.com/anim/index12.php

Lip synching with the basic version of AS is really easy.

No, that's an old tutorial (Moho) using the assign control points, which in AS is NOT recommended (it's recommended to use weighting instead -- besides of which, assigning vertices is a big PITA). AS supposedly only kept this old method for backwards compatibility (at least according to the manual)...

Sounds like your points are pulling too far and twisting the shape, or turning it inside out. Does it look anything like this: http://fiziwig.com/anim/sleeve1.gif (this one twists the cloth, not the empty space, but the principle is the same.) You probably need to un-bind some of the points from the...

Which vector points screw up? The ones in the arms, or other ones?
In what way do they screw up?
Without seeing what's going on, anything anyone might say would just be a wild guess.

This is just a hobby with me.

There's something about paper and pencil that is too permanent . Sure, we can always erase, but somehow, a line put to paper is too final, not fluid enough. Digital gives me the freedom to explore and make mistakes that are easily corrected or refined. Interestingly, I've also dabbled in composing m...

You can control whether a given point is curved or angular, and you can control the amount of curvature at each point.

Look for these three tools, Curvature, Smooth, and Peak. Look them up in the help to see how to use them.

Fantastic! That worked. I will have to go back and put that in my tutorial where I simply said that QuickTime crashes AS. A great piece of detective work.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Looking back over the tutorials, I can see I left a lot of things out that would be of assistance to newbies. I'll probably go back and add some more basic stuff later.
