[Plugin] Animator - v4.5a - 22 Jul 25
-
@fredo6 Yes, I've seen it, but the problem is that you can't do object animation and scene transitions with Animator simultaneously. In practice, you have to make two videos and then work with a video editor, which doesn't seem like a good solution to me. It would have been nice if Animator's batch mode also included transitions, with an option.

Hi, I find one error in animator plugin, in fact I find it at the version v4.4.
the speed factor is not correct. previously I will set 0.75 factor for speed that mean if you create a 10seconds video and set factor as 0.75, normally the final video should be 13.3seconds. however for new version of animator if you set 0.75 it becomes 24.1 seconds.if it does a bug, please correct it as before.
-
With Animator v4.5a, I cannot reproduce the issue, whether in interactive mode or when generation the video.
Could you be more precise and tell me where you set the speed factor.
-
Please see above image. for previous verisons (before v4.4) for example if you choose 0.75 (frame tate I choose 45f/s I don't know if it affects the speed), and if your video last 100 seconds, then the video generated will be 133seconds, that mean 100/133=0.75 (this is exactly the factor you choose).
however after I install v4.4 version, and choose the 0.75 factor, the generated video will last 241seconds, and even I input 0.95 factor, the video last 170seconds around. I think maybe there is something you can adjust in your program. to make the speed factor back to normal.

I released v4.5a. Did you try with this version?
-
@fredo6 Yes I tried v4.5a but same problem.
-
you can see my version now is v4.5a
I just created one 36 seconds video and choose 0.75 with 45p/s I finally get 1 minute and 26second video:

I love this plugin, but I find the elements get moved due to some glitch- What often happens is that an element gets repositioned to the end of it's path. This means that it will travel the right direction and distance but start and end at incorrect positions. Is there a simple way to correct an element position? The plugin doesn't seem to like it if I manually move an element.
My workaround is to copy all the elements in one sketchup file and paste them into another file so that I can start re-building the animation timeline again.
Please excuse me if this has been answered elsewhere. Thanks.

It is better to use the Positioner to save position of objects.

@fredo6 Thanks Fredo. Much appreciated.
