Yes, I can see the plugin sitting there (a Unix Executable File), but can you tell me how to instal the plugin?

Dear Adam, and Brian,

Again, thank you. The most bizarre thing seems to be the case. If I “Control Click” the little dot next to “Position” in the Tag Properties window (adding a key frame) everything seems to work. If I manually hit the “Keyframe” button the whole animation seems to do all those bizarre things I was mentioning.

So, now I’m up and running again. How odd….

Thank you both for taking the time to check back in with advice. As I’ve mentioned before, it means the world to know that there are those of you out there who will take the time and give the guidance needed.

Take care, and I would put money on the fact that we’ll be chatting again. Thank you.

Thank you again Adam (and Randy)
Yes, the “Use animation” is on.
Perhaps this might help you to help me: This is my workflow;
– Align Camera To Spline
– Set Animation to frame 0
– Set Align Spline Tag Properties to 0
– Record Keyframe
– Set animation frame to 300
– Set Align Spline Tag Properties to 100
– Record Keyframe (manual keyframing)

– I am noticing that there is now a black line between where the camera is in frame 0 and in frame 300 – as though it would be moving between the first and last points of the spline, but it doesn’t move anywhere, and still won’t return to the first point of the spline in frame 0.

Still scratching my head….

[Alex Reardon]

Yes I can, and furthermore I can manually advance the camera along the spline by increasing the percentage position in the “Align To Spline” attribute window.
This little animation is only 300 frames. When the camera is at 100% position (at the keyframe at 300f) it doesn’t go back to the start at 0f. Neither do any other animations in this drawing. To ensure I’m not doing anything completely bonkers, I’ve opened a new drawing and replicated my workflow, and it works.
Is there an overall “make it run” check box that I might have inadvertently checked?

[Alex Reardon]

Yup, its there, just like on my other work. I’m just trying to Align to Spline a target camera. It works in a new blank drawing, but for some reason it won’t in this drawing.

Thanks for responding so fast, but do you have any other thoughts?…..

[Alex Reardon]

Ah HA!
Thank you so much Mr Jones. You’ve saved me from tearing my hair out! Nice one.
Love the forum!
