      Could you open the Ruby console to see if there are error messages.

          HELP! I just installed and started using animator plug in today, and I created a long animation with many moving parts. I successfully saved an animator file along with my progress today, but not there seems to be a glitch. I can see all of the assets in the timeline, but I can't scrub through the timeline. When I click back to beginning it won't take me there, and when I click on generate video...all the windows disappear and I can't see the generate window box that I did see before. Not sure how to solve this glitch and open the generate window box again.

            Difficult to say anything without having the model.

            At least, could you open the Ruby Console while running Animator.

              Hello,

              Trying to test Thea with Animator again with an older version of SketchUp (2020).
              When I launched Animator, it said that the version no longer worked and needed updating.

              I update LibFredo6 and through the SketchUcation store plugin, tried to update Animator. Didn't work. Tried direct download and SketchUp Extension Manager wouldn't work either, saying Failed to install Animator_v3.6.rbz and with the Extension store the message is UnZip Error: Could not upzip archive.

              Has something changed that it won't install on SU2020?

              Actuallymessage from SU20 & SU21, just did the same exact thing in SU2021...

                And... for some reason, with SU2021, there was no problem with the update today! Hmmm.
                Interesting. I did nothing different.

                  Hello Fredo

                  I've been using Animator for a long time and I love it.

                  Im working on a important animation work (deadline is tomorrow 😞 ) but suddenly I got an error window like in the picture. I downloaded it and try to update but nothing has changed. It's seems on the latest version in extension manager.

                  I deleted and reinstalled, used in higher sketchup versions but I got still same error.

                  Windows 10

                    Hello Fredo,
                    Just wanted to mention that I have the same issue. I am also getting the message I have to update the plugin.

                    Windows 10, SU 2021

                    Thanks!

                      I too downloaded the 3.6 version for SU2022, didn't work. So I installed it with the SketchUcation store plugin... still didn't work.

                      Continue to get message:

                      "This version of Animator has expired
                      Please upgrade to the lattest version

                      Go to the Download Page on Sketchucation?"

                      So, thought to try and update LibFredo6 to see if that was the culprit.

                      No change. Any suggestions?

                      And I confirm, SU2021 has the same issue.

                            Hi Fredo,

                            Is there any hope that you release a new version or a fix to this issue today? I have to take a workshop on animator, but if the plugin is not working, I can't do anything, please reply as soon as possible, so that I can know if I will have to postpone the workshop or we are getting new version soon?

                            Thank you

                                        Animator is a very interesting plugin but I do not succeed to record films of the animation.

                                        It seems that FFMpeg does not work correctly.

                                        I obtain numerous images instead of film, and they vanishes when I click record.

                                        Without possibility to record films, animator is less useful.

                                        Is there something to do?

                                          If all else fails, and if you're so inclined, you can composite the myriad images into a film using 3rd party software. Far from ideal, I know, but a workaround.
