Animation outa SU - Modell vanishes at Scene transitions

[bbwolf]

Heya folks

I have a little problem with the "export as animation" function.
When exporting the movie, I get a "blank" frame or two at the point where/when
the transition between one scene and the next is pictured. I tried it with and w/out
a scene delay and ended up with no delay, I have the "enable scene transitions" box
checked and seven seconds set for the time of the transitions. But in the finished
animation there´s allways a "flash" at the moment of the transition and when looking
closer I found empty frames.

Does anybody have similar problems or maybe even a solution to this allready?

Hints ´n links to where good render tutorial or info for noobs would be highly
appreciated too.

Many thanks in advance

Wolf

Unfortunately, this is a know bug with the animation exports. Some people use other software to delete the afflicted frames and somehow replace them.

I'm hoping this will be fixed in the next release of SketchUp.

Thanks Juju. Now I know it is a bug too. I used Quicktime Pro and erased the frames in quetion. In fact, my last animation had so many "flashes" that I quit SU, restarted my machine while tossing all chaches and exported it anew. Now I was only left with the flahes at the exact exact transition point which where then easy to erase w/out too much damage to the
animation.

Truth to be told, I keep pondering if I should put money into my SketchUp skills with all
the drawbacks, known bugs and limitations.
Maybe I rather pay for tutoring in an established 3D programm like C4D or something. I still can construct in SU but do animations and rendering in C4D.

Any suggestions anybody?

Thanks
