it's been a long time since I felt comfortable about using imported references for character rigs. I might still use them in special situations, but I may eventually apply Break Layer Reference to prevent problems. The main issue with references today is that they can randomly set keyframes for eve...

The one advantage for rendering out as movies (I use ProRes 422 HQ) instead of image sequence is that you can export the audio along with it. Then you can directly import into Final Cut Pro, no optimization needed, and it's easy to synch it with the original audio in FCP*, you can visually align it ...

I've created a full 22 minute animated episode on my M3 Max and the Apple Silicon CPUs really render like there's no tomorrow, often merely getting lukewarm. Real-time preview playback is also super smooth even at 4k. No comparison to my old intel MBPro (which was outstanding as a room heater and je...

Hi it's me again. I have finally completed the pilot for Shadywoods, as a POC since I want to pitch it to however is willing to fund production of one ore more seasons. I'm also submitting the pilot to various film festivals, hence I cannot show you the full episode, but below is a trailer and one s...

Also been teaching myself Apple Motion (After Effects user usually) and i really like the slick Apple interface AND it doesn't have dockable windows either but it doesn't annoy me as much as in Moho... I've been a fan of Motion since the early days, it's a fantastic software, superior to AE in some...

My biggest gripe:

FInd a way to apply/unapply scale compensation for everything within a specific layer/folder. Sometimes I want to switch it off (even temporarily), but I'd have to go into every single layer and folder and switch off scale compensation to do so. That is just insane.

Hi there, I'm working on the pilot/POC of a new series. This time around it's not entirely a one-man operation as Phungus & Mowld was, but I hired three voice actors to help me bring more variety into the characters (I'll still be playing several other parts myself). I'm still doing all designs,...

I'm heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, so apart from Moho I'm using Final Cut Pro for editing videos and Apple Motion for vfx and compositing. For backgrounds I'm sometimes using Affinity Designer if I want to make them in vectors, for bitmap backgrounds I prefer to use Procreate with my iPad ...

Some humble usability improvements: Remember the width of the Layers Panel between sessions, don't reset it to an insanely narrow default once you quit the app. Maybe save the Layer Panel width inside the document you're editing? Remember the toggle setting of View > Disable Grid Snapping between se...

>So you've upgraded software and OS at the same time, and you expect it to work without hitch? Yep. As it happens with Flying Meat and Rogue Amoeba, who are also one or maybe two guys developing the software. So if you develop software for a living, that level of professionalism should be par for th...

I just paid 100 bucks for the upgrade and expecting it to run on an OS that was known to be out around this time for quite a while ago is definitely not "demanding the world".

Moho 13.5 seems to run fine, though. Go figure.

macOS Sonoma is out and Moho 14 crashes 100% on launch… As much as I love you guys for making Moho, I just can't for the life of me understand how it never seems to cross the minds of some software developers with all the developer previews and public betas long ahead of the launch to actually make ...

Just did a test on my Mac and same issue here, the alpha channel is not recognized in Final Cut [10.6.8] running on macOS Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91) (intel) when exporting to "MOV (ProRes alpha-ALAC).

First of all CONGRATS! This is an upgrade I've been waiting for, mainly to financially support Lostmarble for their ongoing efforts and saving us from Smith Micro! I bought the upgrade after checking it out for only 15 minutes, LOL. First impression: UI is super sluggish on my 16" MacBook Pro (...
