Solved Timeline question

[DTB247]

Somehow I did this I am not sure how. I have red lines thru head and rhand instead of saved control points. The animation still works but how do i switch them back to show control points?

Hi @DTB247 ! Timeline 4 will display a red line whenever there are too many keyframes to be displayed. But Timeline 5 (to be released publicly September 24) solves that problem, and also has zoom so you can actually see them

Awesome thanks, looking forward to the zoom feature to select those pesky keyframes for deletion.

Hi, I am trying to use Timeline Plugin to create an animations sequence comprising of 3 animations. Each animation is between 140 to 180 seconds long. When I save the scene and then try to reopen it. It does not reopen. Can you tell me what could be causing the problem?

Are you getting any messages in the error log? Just a guess but are all three animations set to start on load?

Hi, No there are no error messages and all 3 animations are set to start on load. I am using Timeline 223 and have also used 219. VAM version 1.20.77.7

I am stumped . Hopefully someone else has the answer.

Thanks I hope so. It is very frustrating

@AngelCutebXtch what do you mean, like you open your scene and Timeline is empty?

There's one case that I know of, if your animation has too many keyframes, at one point Virt-A-Mate will crash (because of it's serialization engine), the only solution to this is to reduce keyframes (tomorrow I'll release a new version with much better keyframe reduction), but it should clearly show an error in the VaM error window when it's the case. If you say there's _nothing_ showing up in the errors log when saving, then I don't know either.

My ideas: send the saved JSON file (you can send it privately) and I'll investigate. You could also record the screen showing saving the scene, _maybe_ I'll see something you didn't...

It's always possible that you got a very unique bug, in which case I'd also like to fix it

Ok thanks I will send you the JSON file and record what I did when saving.
