    Hi there! When dealing with kinematics, it's very useful to be able to graphically manage speeds instead of positions (slope of positions law) I see that a lot of non-linear laws are availables during a movement, but as far I understand, it's only useful between 2 keyframes. When dealing with more keyframes within a same general movement, I didn't manage to have some smooth transitions... Here is a simple case: Let's say we want to animate a car, constant speed (100km/h) between KF#1 and KF#2. Then it decelerates between KF#2 and KF#3 so that it reaches another constant speed (50km/h) from KF#3 up to KF#4. I didn't manage smooth transitions without generating some weird stuff... Is there some kind of tricks using available non-linear laws? Thanks!

    @Scit @fredo6 I see the same issue - all MP4 videos seem to be encoded as 25FPS regardless of what is set in the Animator clip creation UI. I am using a Mac Studio with macOS 26.6.2. I am not sure what version of ffmpeg I have; I think it was "inherited" from my previous Mac when I installed this Mac Studio and migrated the contents from my prior Mac. Edited to add: I just updated ffmpeg to a build from a few days ago (downloaded from https://ffmpeg.martin-riedl.de/) and there is no difference. MP4 clips are still encoded as 25FPS even when, for example, 30FPS is selected in the Animator GUI. This is causing some grief in my video editor (iMovie), complicating how I time some voice-over with the video content, and also with how I have the editor dissolve from one clip to another when frame-by-frame synchronization is important.

    It is difficult to tell without seeing the model with the animation actually. Just attach it here if you can or PM it to me. Thanks.

    A largely forgotten plugin - MSPhysics. Also not so easy to get running under SUp2022: https://community.sketchucation.com/user/faust07

    That's called Camera Clipping. It occurs when parts of a 3D scene that fall outside the camera's visible region, known as the viewing frustum.

    @quenemary You have no license directory which suggests your SketchUp install is missing read/write permissions. You can fix this by running the SketchUp installer using Run as Administrator and choosing Repair when prompted.

    As we have figured out the issue requires both Animator 4.5+ and Thea 4.0.1397+ update.

    @FairhavenMatt Also remember that working on any program's files that reside away from your computer also risks losing data when saving - which is irretrievable. Always work on a version of the file on your computer, saving it there as you work. When that work is completed save a copy of the file over onto the 'remote' location. Having your version on your computer is no harm and a useful safety net if you get problems with the remote copy getting made. Making a remote copy of a file is far less likely to cause any issues, as the OS is very robust at doing this, whereas any ap saving remotely is more likely to have hiccups... In your case the remote location is not accessible, but if it had been you have the ever present risk of a glitch in the file's data - potentially making it unusable...
