      When I click on airplane gif I get this each time:

      Screen Shot 2017-05-29 at 9.49.06 AM.png

      I've had a similar problem on one other site (The Verge - which fails to even load the home page), so it's likely browser related. Both these have happened since the latest Safari update, so not sure if it broke something.

      Anyone know what the issue might be? I'm running Safari on elCapitan (both with latest updates)

        If you open this in a browser tab what happens?

          Same error. It takes ~ 30 seconds for the tab to load, then it throws the error.

          I thought it might be my browser extensions, but the problem persists even with extensions off.

            I revised the length of the .gif as I experienced something similar on my Ipad.

            So this is a test to see if it is due to a time issue. (see attached)

            I will take down problem file if this resolves it.

            EDIT:
            This version works fine on my IPad.

                It was only when I tried opening Rich's in a new tab that it took 30 seconds to fail. When I clicked on the gif (without opening a new tab), it threw the error immediately - and still does with the smaller file.

                Not to worry... pretty sure the problem is with my browser

                  fredo,

                  Per latest Beta release:

                  Cameras: Still views, Scene views, Tracking camera, all with "fade-out"

                  Q: Is the "fade out" camera related or content related? (Please indulge me as I am not well versed)

                  That said......and to attempt to further clarify.....what would "fade out".......items/content camera is "on" or would camera "fade out" or "close" focus in some way.

                  Again, many thanks for this awesome plug-in.

                  Best regards,
                  Charlie

                      What a strange machine (a microscope?). I guess you have plenty of movements to demonstrate!

                          It's a part of a sample handler for X-Ray analysis ( Copper industry, not lemon-cake... 😉)

                            Hi Fredo,

                            Hereby, some small items I noticed using Animator V1.6a.
                            ( written in French)

                            Pierre


                            Maybe tiny improvments...

                              Pierre,

                              Thanks for signaling these problems. I already fixed them and will re-publish soon.

                              Note that for time or duration setting, you should just enter the value, not keep the 's' for second .

                              Fredo

                                Hello Fredo

                                Question: is it possible to insert a dummy sequence in time line that shifts all the following step ?
                                This could be usefull when some not shown process is working.

                                Friendly

                                  The animation made me understand the XRay Analyzer. And Pilou was wrong, not to do with pastry!

                                  I'll do the dummy sequence. I was thinking of it anyway, at least for forcing an adjustable quiet period at the beginning or the end of the clip.

                                      Hi Fredo,

                                      Is there a way to resize the controls? Using a Macbook Pro Retina, the controls are tiny and hard to read. Probably something to do with the screen resolution...

                                          "Fog" doesn't change smoothly between cameras, like "shadows" and "field of view" does. It just jumps to next style's value.

                                          "date" for shadows. If I have to cameras based on sceens with two different dates (june and october), it causes jumping creasy shadows. not often people would use that but that little thing to fix.

                                          As well when adding camera based on sceen, using styles, layers visibility and shadows connected to camera could be by default turned on (seems good to me).

                                          When using camera captured from current view, options for using shadows, layers and styles attached to camera are not greyed out.. Is it becuse you can attach them? When I clicked shadows on, than it stopped the animation at the end of duration of previous camera.. so seems like it lucked of informations.. OOKK that was becouse I didn't turn on shadows on when capturing the camera.. When I chose the camera and recaptured with new shadows it worked.. though would be good it there was something in memory even if I don't turned it on..

                                          There is nice smoothing of the path between the possitions of ongoing cameras. So the path of camera is a nice curve. (with bezzier) But speed is stil interpolated only between two consecutive cameras so there is no smooth change of sppeed in the point of camera's placement.. this one could be "eased" too... I was hoping for that ..

                                            To Fredo6 - Just very curious.. Are you a man or an institution.. Somehow can not fit it in my small head that someone having regular job, does all that work with plugins for free as a hobby in free time.. It seems not an easy thing to write it and you do a LOT..

                                            Big thanks... for all..
