Moho Forum

I don´t know if this is a bug or just a personal problem of mine.

I had a bone layer and in the 0 frame it was invisible. Could not see it in Frame 0. There was a red line down the 0 frame column when the bone layer was selected.

In any frame passed 0 the bone layer was visible (and I could employ the layer visibility for any frame after frame 0). However, I could not turn off the invisibility of frame 0.

The only way around was to delete the bone layer (first emptying its contents ).

I was wondering how it got invisible in frame 0 - I don´t remember doing it. If so, how did I do it? Or if it does happen how can one undo it? I tried delete, paste, copy, add keyframe all things on the 0 frame visibility layer that I had no idea would work and didn´t.

Any ideas as to why this happens and how I can cure it?
(This has happened a couple of times to me. I´m using Moho 5.1 on Windows.)

Normally in Moho, we encourage you to do most of your "setup" work at frame zero, and then animate from frame 1 onwards. However, Moho does let you create new layers at any frame. If you create a layer at a frame other than zero, Moho takes that to mean that you don't want the layer to appear until that frame, so it is marked invisible up until then.

In your case, my guess is that you created the bone layer at frame 1 (maybe accidentally), so it is invisible at frame 0.

To change this, is isn't necessary to delete and re-create the bone layer. Instead, you just need to change its visibility. Set the current time to frame 0, and double-click the bone layer in the Layers window. Turn on the "Visible" checkbox.

There will be an additional visibility keyframe at frame 1 (or whichever frame the layer was created at) that you can delete in the timeline if you wish. This step isn't totally necessary, but it might be nice to get rid of that extra keyframe to keep the timline a little cleaner.
