Plugins + Scripts Timeline

[void]

Is the scrubbing issue on audio tracks fixed? This is a great program but with this big bug.. it's so annoying. Initially it works, and suddenly it stops working. Reloading the plugin, restarting VAM.. nothing helps. It's a showstopper for dance videos...

edit: scrubbing works again when deleting the audio track and inserting another one.

Also my audio track suddenly stops at 200s (original timeline lenght but I set it to 300s, still it stops at 200s)), reloaded the audio track, even deleted and did a new audio track... and it still stalls at 200s. When scrubbing worked, I could scrub beyond 200s and it played fine.. till it stalls again at unpredictable timeline positions.

Thanks for the update, but I will revert to an older version as I have noticed an increase in random freezing/stuttering without any errors during playback as mentioned by others.

What version do you recommend as I got freezing and stuttering as well?

 

[kakianl]

hello, does this plugin have the ability to export BVH?

AcidBubbles.Timeline.283.var

Strange, I got worse experiences with 283.

Sequencing no longer working on my scene. I have a group set up to randomize the next animation, and it was working great and now it doesnt. Hitting the all button would normally start the animation and then a countdown timer would show, meaning it was going to transition into a new scene at that time. Now it shows the total amount it was going to play, but when it gets to that number it just stops. What do I need to fix to get this working again?

Very strange, we may have something wrong within the actual scenes itself.

Is anybody else having this issue?

when deleting selected keys it will also delete keys within the Trigger/Audio tracks even though they are unselected.

I can't confirm 100%, but I've definitely noticed trigger keys go missing quite a few times since this update (287), and your description could certainly be the case. I just haven't yet zeroed in on replicating the issue since it's somewhat rare, and I work pretty fast, but trigger keys are definitely disappearing.

yes this happens to me too, when I delete keyframes, aligned audio/triggers are also deleted even if you didnt select them

Great plugin. So powerful.

Feature suggestion: Forces
Basically, it allows you to apply a force or torque to an atom or control on the timeline. It works the same or similar to the position/rotation now, but you add Targets that can have forces applied. This should be independent of the Pos/Rot for best effect.

One way to implement this might be to add a Force option in the current Targets, and an option to turn "Apply Pos/Rot" and "Apply Force" checked or unchecked. That way, you could create nodes that have Pos/Rot, Force or both.

Keep up the great work!

Hi, I got a question, how do I stop my animation from looping, every time I try to animate the keyframes move in order to get to first pose for the loop, I want to stop that and I don't know how. It makes animating rly hard.

Hi all!
Please tell me what I “turned on” or “turned off”?
I have 2 Sims and this only happens on one.

 

[Acid Bubbles]

@Casual disable looping in the edit tab
@alexmname check if there are errors in the VaM error messages window? Otherwise, check if it's locked in the More menu or if the plugin or atom is disabled.

Thanks for the reply, I found a loop around the problem I just made the scene longer! ????

Hi, I've always had a problem with several versions of Timeline. Maybe there's a problem?

I do motion capture with the VR headset (quest3).
When I animate on 20 sec for example and I start the motion capture at 0, it always stops around 19.25-19.99 and yet, it is well defined on 20.
It never stops at the end, I always have to copy/paste the end keyframe.

Thx!

Hi @Acid Bubbles thanks for everything you do for the community! I was wondering, would it be possible to make the Timelime plugin multi-core, similar to how the Render plugin has been made multicore? I ask because I'm using smoothing in a mocap imported timeline animation, and I can tell it's running single core and going to take roughly 20-30 minutes for everything. If it was multicore I bet it would be reduced to just a couple of minutes. Is this feasible?

Hi folks, is there a way to sync a video to an animation timeline? Reason being I wanna use the video as a reference for keyframe animating like how some folks do in other software. Thanks!

 

[MaryJane]

Hi,
is there a way to access these two parameters inside Timeline?
I would like disable this for Macgrubers Gaze and active in the next animation.
Tried the accessing by trigger but only controller weight is accessible.

Found the solution. Just set the weight for headControl between 0.1 - 0.2 and enable/ disable Gaze plugin.

In many scenes, character expressions are extremely exaggerated and unnatural. Currently, modifying expression keyframes in the Timeline is cumbersome. Is it possible to add a feature to globally modify expression multipliers, similar to how joint controls allow overall offsets?

 

[alexmname]

Has anyone run into this?
The coordinates are the same.
Why does this happen?

Can anyone explain the record animation option? I'm using other plugins like Sex Thruster for example to get the characters to have sex and trying to record that using timeline. I've added all target controls from both atoms and grouped them, but once I finally go to record, no movement is being recorded despite the characters being in motion, they just sit still when I go to play the animation back. Am I misunderstanding how the record animation option works, or does Timeline just not pick up on motion created through other means than the user directly moving them?

Essentially I'm just trying to have Timeline record the characters in motion so I can go back and smoothen things out without me having to manually animate everything myself. Does Timeline not allow this? If it does, does anyone know any videos demonstrations? Haven't managed to find any doing this.

this is a great plug in! I noticed next segment and previous segment triggers do not seem to be working via uibuttons or story actions.

I've been having this issue lately where I import in a segment 2 and it shows in the list but does not play. I go to segment 2 and click play and it jumps from that back to segment 1 and won't play segment 2. Even if I click play on the individual animation within timeline on segment 2. All persons have segment 2 on them. Anyone familiar with this issue?
