Can’t insert action in right place.

Post by Dolphin2011 »

The forum is super slow.
Anyway, I got problem here. I have Moho Pro 14.3. I made an action of walking, but when I tried to insert the action in mainline, it won’t stay where I want, keeps going back to frame zero. No matter I insert copy or reference, it just goes to frame zero. So frustrating. Anyone can help me out. I appreciate it.

Has the layer been moved in the sequencer?

No, not at all.

Did you move the playhead to the frame you wanted to insert on?

Yes, I did. Thank you so much for helping me, Synthsin75.

Here is my video of the action. I do think something wrong with the action. But I don't know how.

Here is the video of mainline. No matter I inserted reference or copy, same thing.

You probably need to delete the bone translation keyframes from the action.
These are probably telling the action to start from the same location as in the action, instead of starting from where the character is when you add the action.

Until seeing your video it sounded like the action was inserted on frame zero, no matter where the play head was. Showing the timeline of the action was enough of a clue.

Glad I could help. :wink:
