Social skills go both ways.Telemacus wrote:To Danimal:
You too should read a manual: "being polite to people who are starting out". I know it must be hard for you, but give it a try, mate.
Perhaps you're a brilliant animator, but your social skills are evidently lacking.
Please stop replying to any of my posts.
Thank you.
Danimal wasn't being mean. He had the same reaction I had as well. We are are simply trying to help.
The reason both Danimal and myself would agree that suggesting to you to read the manual is not being "mean". Reading the manual is important because of the terms you use for things that aren't in the manual and don't actually make sense within Anime Studio. It appears you don't have a solid working understanding of how Anime Studio works.
There is no mention of "nodes" in Anime Studio. In your description "nodes" appear to be layers or groups of layers with keys. You can't "copy and paste layers", you copy and paste the contents of the layers like points bones and keys. The "nodes" you describe are simply groups of layers with key frames.
You can copy ALL keys of MANY layers by inserting the main time line into an action. Then you can use that action to "reinsert" or use those keys much more easily, In a smart bone, inserting an action into the main time line or using morph dials. The exact same process you are requesting as a new feature for "pasting layers" or pasting "nodes".
Nodes don't exist as you describe them. That makes it confusing for both of us. We need to be on the same page, so.... we suggest reading the manual. You have to realize that many of us here have been using Anime Studio for years and know EXACTLY what you are trying to do. Not only do we understand it but we've probably done it a bazillion times. With our experience we are trying to help you.
