Hi, fredo. I want to realize how version of thea render can support v2.4b animator. Is the thea render v2.0 ok? Thank you for help me.

I did not test with this version of Thea 2.0. I only have v1.5 on my laptop.
So if you have it already, please make a test on a simple animation, opening the Ruby Console to check if there are error messages (normally you should only see traces of the execution).
For Thea, make sure you use a Presto method, not interactive, with a reasonable sample/px, typically 10 to 20. This keeps the rendering under a reasonable amount of time.

Can I use this extension with Maxwell Render to create a rendered video? I believe I need to creates multiple scenes to bring into Maxwell.

I have no API to Maxwell, so it is not supported in Direct mode by Animator.
And I doubt that Maxwell support the reverse mode (as Thea does), because they would have contacted me.
So short answer is NO.

Any advice concerning ffmpeg video download. I followed the link and the FFmpeg.org pdf directions but didn't find the exact steps available and got into a baited ads trap and downloaded similarly labeled ffmpeg files that were unrelated. I successfully created an edit in animator and would love to get it to mp4.

For Mac, here is the download page.
Then I suggest you pick the latest build of FFmpeg for Mac (dated 3 Jan 2020).
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/macos64/static/ffmpeg-20200102-81172b5-macos64-static.zip
Just extract the ffmpegexecutable in the **
bin
**subfolder and put it in a known place where you will point to from Animator. -

Hi there,
thank you for this incredible plugin! I've been using it for about half a year now creating animation films and it's truly one of the greatest SU plugins out there.
However, since yesterday afternoon I'm experiencing a few bugs.
- Animations aren't previewed in the editor
- I can't select a specific time in my timeline any more. On mouseover it hovers in turquoise, however, nothing happens upon clicking. When I temporarily exit to SU and return to Animator it has then selected the moment I wasn't able to select previously. However, it doesn't show the animations that should have happened up to this point.
- When I proceed to "Generate a Video for the Film" it does not show a pop up window. It just hides all menus and displays a red frame around the editor.
All these issues occured from one moment to the other. It was fine yesterday morning but started behaving like this in the afternoon. I tried to reinstall both the animator as well as the lib but it didn't help. I then proceeded to try the plugins in SU17 - same issues here.
I'm using Win 10 Pro 64 Bit, SU19.2.222, Lib 9.5g, Animator 2.6a
Here are the lines from the Ruby Console upon opening the animator:
Error; #<ArgumentError; wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 3)> c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6spline.rbe;46;in `evaluate' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6oscillation.rbe;291;in `bezier' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6oscillation.rbe;260;in `call' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6oscillation.rbe;260;in `double' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6oscillation.rbe;246;in `block in standard_function_calculate' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6oscillation.rbe;254;in `standard_function_calculate' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6oscillation.rbe;214;in `standard_interpolate' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6oscillation.rbe;61;in `interpolate' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_animator/animatoranimal.rbe;988;in `animal_apply_easing_oscillation' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_animator/animatoranimal.rbe;920;in `animal_calculate_ratio' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_animator/animatoranimal.rbe;852;in `block in animal_animate_contribution' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_animator/animatoranimal.rbe;845;in `each' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_animator/animatoranimal.rbe;845;in `animal_animate_contribution' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_animator/animatoranimal.rbe;638;in `animal_animate_processing' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_animator/animatoranimal.rbe;574;in `animal_animate_film' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_animator/animatorclipmanager.rbe;1356;in `clip_animate' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_animator/animatorclipmanager.rbe;1534;in `notify_from_clip_animation' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6animationengine.rbe;239;in `call' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6animationengine.rbe;239;in `notify_event' c;/users/steff/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/body_lib6animationengine.rbe;447;in `perform' ...

Thanks for signaling.
It should normally be fixed with LibFredo6 9.5h, just published.
