Help—How do I restore the default settings in Anime Studio?

[PeterR51]

This is a real cry for help.

I am a recent convert to Anime Studio Pro and have been using it to create an animation for a new TV pitch. We are due to take a stand at the upcoming Brand Licensing Show at Olympia in mid October.

Most of the animation is now completed and can be seen here:

but I have hit a major snag. I opened Anime Studio this morning and something really weird seems to have happened.

If I create a shape:

and then scrub through the timeline the shape jiggles all over the place—that is without me having attempted any animation.

It seems to be the actual layer itself that is affected and it moves in X, Y and Z space in a totally unpredictable manner;

and:

The other thing that seems to have occurred is that all my timeline settings are appearing—normally it's only the settings that I am adjusting:

It now means that the software is impossible to use until I resolve the problem.

I either need to resolve the issue by finding what is causing the weird movements or just reinitialise the software.

But I can't even find out how to do that.

Help anyone?

Best Wishes,

Peter

You probably have your default keyframe interpolation set to noisy. So any new shape already has animated noise in every channel from frame zero, including curvature, color, etc..

Many thanks Wes—I think you are right. I reset the Project Settings to default and relaunched the software and (fingers crossed) it seems to have resolved the problem.

Best Wishes,

Peter
