      Hello all. I am new to these forums and have been using sketchup here and there for about a year. I quite like the simplicity and versatility of the program and have recently been asked by my boss if I could do some animations.

      So I've downloaded the trial version of keyframe animation and so far I'm loving the plugin and how easy and straightforward it is to use.

      However, I have found that when I try to change the scene settings, the only thing that "sticks" is the delay number (which I set to 0)

      I can't get the transition time or the framerate to change at all. I can change the number, but as soon as I run the animation they change themselves back. I can change the framerate, exit the scene settings dialog, and as soon as I go back into it it has reset itself to 10.

      I am not sure what is causing this. Maybe it's because I've just got the trial version? I hope not. I would like to see that something works all the way before I pay for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty much stymied on my animation job until I can get this resolved.

        Not sure if thats because its a Trial version, but i assure you its worth the full version and i never had that problem your having, but you can also contact Doug via his email on the keyframe plugin site, he normally replies in no time, but i recommend this plugin highly for animations πŸ‘

          Do you export your animations to a rendering program? I have a strong need to create animations and use Thea as my rendering program.

          i7-4930K 3.4Ghz, 2x GTX780 6GB, 32GB DDR3-1600 ECC, OCZ Vertex 4 500GB, WD Black 3TB, 32TB NAS, 4x 27" Monitors, SpaceMouse Pro, X-keys XK-60

              So I guess I've solved the problem. All I did was uninstall the Keyframe Animations Plugin and reinstall. It seems to have fixed the issue.

              Also, I use TwilightRender to render my animations, and while it is not free, it is also not that expensive and does a beautiful (and user-friendly) job.

                Bob,

                TwiLight supports KeyFrame Animation. But why not use Thea's animation tools?

                Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

                    What version of SketchUp are you using? Your profile says 2020 Free/Make but there is no such version.

                    What exactly happens when you install it? Did you install the most recent version, V2.2.1?
