Lost functionality

Hi Stephen,

What you’re running into is that you’ve created a Camera Track and is currently selecting the Camera Track. This is why the Pose/Transition Controls are gone, and replaced with the message that you are currently seeing.

To get the Pose/Transition controls back, select the Object Track you want to edit, and click on the Pose or Transition.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Edward

Before I learned how to group tracks I created two tracks that need to animate together. So I added a Camera and animated it to move the two tracks. Then I needed to duplicate that project and move the two objects over so they sat side by side. In order to move the objects I moved the camera and not the two Object tracks. I did it numerically down in the Advanced Controls. I know I didn’t move the Objects because I would have had to move them both where I can only move one Object at a time unless I group them. Which I didn’t know about before I started this mess of a project.

I want to move the camera with numeric values instead of the tools in the Scene Preview window. How do I do that. Thanks for your help.

Hi Stephen,

Unfortunately, there are no ways to move the ProAnimator camera numerically. The only way to move the ProAnimator camera around is using the Camera Manipulation tools.

You can move Objects numerically by clicking the objects, and changing the “Move X,Y,Z” settings to move your objects. Or, you can click on the Object and go to the Stats button to type in specific values for the Object Position, but there isn’t a way currently to change the Camera Positions numerically.

Best,
Edward
