Help! Auto-Freeze-Keys keeps switching on!!!

Post by Hugging_Bear »

Hi guys,
Auto-Freeze-Keys keeps switching on. I suspected a keyboard shortcut I accidentally press but I couldn't find any. I also checked the preferences - same result: couldn't find anything!
How can I prevent that happening???
This results in tons of extra work because I have to go through each single bone and delete all excess keyframes ... that equals hours of extra work :(

PS: I also don't see any curves when I click on the 'Motion Graph' tab!

If you have a shortcut set, it will show next to the Menu>Animation command for it.

The motion graph only shows curves when only one point/bone/etc. is selected and after clicking the channel icon to toggle what's displayed.

HI,

By default, there shouldn't be a shortcut assigned to Auto-Freeze Keys, so if you find one there, you should clear it.

To make sure it stays off...

Launch Moho, disable Auto-Freeze Keys, and then immediately quit Moho. The next time you launch Moho, it should remain disabled. The opposite is also true: if you switch it on and quit Moho, it will be on the next time you launch Moho. The Auto-Freeze Key state is saved with application settings and not the project file.

FWIW, it's probably ok to just leave the keyframes as-is unless it's somehow affecting the rendering results. IMO, it's probably a better use of your time to move on to the next shot and make sure Auto-Freeze Key is disabled this time.

Hope this helps.

There must be a way to delete those lines of code responsible for auto-freeze from the main program. But I'm not much of a coder, so I wouldn't know where to look for it.
At the moment, I keep staring at the auto-freeze box like a scared rabbit all the time ... that doesn't make relaxed animating (not that animating is really relaxing for me ... I simply need my attention elsewhere).

I found this in line 47803:
/Windows/Timeline/AutoFreezeKeys=Auto-freeze keys
/Windows/Timeline/AutoFreezeDescription=When editing bone or point keyframes, automatically apply the freeze operation to other bones or points.

But a description isn't a definition, is it?

I've forgotten that I've to double click on the bone icon. Thanks!
