[Plugin] Animator - v4.6a - 18 Dec 25
-
@Rich-O-Brien Thanks, @rich-o-brien, clicking on the yellow bar solved the problem for me.
Now I have to solve the problem of how to combine multiple sequences (movements) into a single Clip. When I try to use the shift key to select multiple items and put them into a clip, it does not work. Also, if I have a clip, how to I add additional items to it?
I watched @fredo6 tutorial (Tutorial 1), I thought I understood how to combine items, but I must be missing something. I think (at least for now) figuring this issue out will help me make a lot of progress to where I want to do.
As I have said before (in multiple threads/posts), I appreciate the feedback and patience from you. I have tried to watch videos and read some stuff to understand these issues on my own. Maybe I am just getting to old learn how to do things.
DUH I just figured out the combining issue. I used the Ctrl key to select multiple items instead of the shift key a LALa, it worked.

OK, I think I have finally figured out all of the tricks I need to make a video with Animator.
Here is an example
Model View.mp4Yes the video/model is pretty basic but through it, I think I have learned how to accomplish the things I want for some upcoming Animator generated videos.
I just have one last silly question; how do I set the location for where the video is created (folder name and location).?
-
Is it possible to start a new thread or category for asking "how to" questions for Animator. I think I have recently learned a lot of very useful information, but I still have a number of questions that I have not been able to find answers to. Yes, I can do a lot of testing but there are topics where other users might be able to provide good feedback/advice for.

I am suddenly getting a message that my license expired on 23 Jan 2026 and I do not know how to update/get it working again. Right now I cannot use Animator.

I am suddenly having a problem generating a video. When I click on the link to generate a video, nothing is happening.
Here is the file I am trying to use to generate a video. Hope someone can either generate a video for me, or look at my file and tell me what is happening.

Can you open the Ruby console.

@fredo6 Right now I am having a problem with my laptop and cannot doe things as normal. I will try to get back to you when I have things under control agaon.
-
Here is the ruby console when I clicked on the Generate Video button.
-
When you report a Ruby error, please copy the text in the Ruby console from the Error line and paste it as text here in the forum. This screenshot can be exploited.
-
There was no error message so I shared what I saw. I fully understand what you are saying though.
Any idea why I am not getting a video though?
-
Yes there is an error as shown in your screenshot.
Simply, I miss the beginning of the error message.
By the way resize to lower part of the console to the minimum (one line). The upper part is for the display of messages.
