here's what I am trying to do. I have an eight minute animation with over 50 separate vocal tracks. Is there any way to take the chunk wave form and sync it to all of these tracks automatically so that I can mix each individual one? I've been messing with this for hours and can't figure it out. I ev...

I would also like to know how to do this. I have an $8,000 machine built just for rendering in maya and only get 20% CPU. One option would be to swap your $8K machine with my old $80 machine which will quite happily run @ 100% CPU! :twisted: That was funny! But really, this is extremely frustrating...

I would also like to know how to do this. I have an $8,000 machine built just for rendering in maya and only get 20% CPU. Renders take hours and it drives me up a wall! I'm rendering about 90 sec of heavy duty stuff. It would be great if SM listed what options we had!

Fixed it!!!!! Finally! Not deleting the thread because this may also help someone. What I did was completely optimized my animation file. I deleted every hidden layer (items I didn't end up using), I removed heavy switch layers (For example: Hands. I have 30 some hands in a switch layer, so I erased...

I've been using anime studio for awhile now and have dealt with my fair share of render problems. I usually delete all the high res PNG files when a render crashes and that fixes the problem, but this time, that isn't working. So, what else can cause a render to crash?

Thank you!!!

Thank you guys for the critique! All was very helpful!!!! I did record it in the middle of the night, I didn't realize how noticeable it was. Maybe I'll redo it at a later point, we'll see! You guys are awesome! Thank you!

Had this idea at lunch and gave myself 48 hours from writing the script to uploading. Let me know what you think!

Please Help! I know this has been asked before, but I can't find the thread. How do I cut out a piece of animation from the timeline and have everything in front of it fall into place. I want to cut out 9 seconds of a scene I don't like, but don't want to spend hours readjusting every aspect of my a...

Mine isn't checked. I usually just reset the style and re-enter all my colors + effects on frame zero and that works, but it gets pretty annoying.

BUMP!!!!!!!!

I run into this issue ALL THE TIME! I don't get why it is not a more popular topic here on lostmarble. Anyways, I hope someone replies. I have spent hours on trying to figure this out.

Thank you!!!! I wish this was in the documentation. It was obvious to look there. Thank you!

I need help: I have no problem using smart bones to fix joints and make pupils move/dilate. I understand the process and it is very simple. I upgraded to the new 9.5 for the layer order control and layer visibility and I cannot figure out how to make it work. I use the same process and adjust the la...
