Scene animation with Animator
-
I tested your Camera Positioing 6 model. No error and I can set any view.
However, since I don't know what you want to achieve, it's difficult to help....
-
@fredo6 Which camera tool are you using?
I have tried both types and I seem to be getting scene views instead of the current screen shot.
-
I am using Static View

OK - I went back to the 6 file and got everything to work fine.
Now, this file is closer to where I am trying to go but I am having several problems with it. Hope you can straighten me out.
Camera Positioning 5.skp -
OK, I had everything working in the Camer Positioning 6 file so I copied it and tried rearranging some things. In particular, I tried moving the Box One scene and camera capture to the beginning and it through everything off. So, I am becoming more confused as to what my "rules" need to be. Maybe I need to just do the object movement portion in Animator and do the "other stuff" in a video editor (which is something @rich-o-brien had suggested).
Am I being unrealistic as to the type of stuff I should do with Animator?

Horses for courses.
Do whatever makes you happy...
Animator is primarily a tool to animate objects in SketchUp.
That doesn't mean it can't do other things.
I think you need to spend time learning it

I have been doing a lot to learn it (IMO), also @fredo6 has been working with me. He even found a bug related to one of the first files I shared and created an update which resolved the problem. know I am getting old and do not use SketchUp as much as I used to. But it seems that some of the issues I am having are more related to some things I am doing in native SketchUp rather than Animator.
If I do some of the stuff I want to do in addition to the Animator animation, I still need to find another product (video editor) that I can afford ( or free). All of this is for my enjoyment/pleasure. As we age (at least some of us) do things like this for pleasure/hobby and unfortunately cost does become a factor.
Even though this has been a little frustrating and a learning challenge, I want to continue and want people like you to not give up on me. Even though I still cannot get everything to work (as of now) the things I have learned have fun.
