I'm not sure what happened but from frame 12 to 42 the shadow is wrong.

You had some layer effects happening around frame 18 and 42.

Here's the fixed one for you

I just pushed those frames to the beginning where there's no animation going on so you can compare and learn from what I did.

You're welcome =)

Thanks for the fix but how did you do it exactly? I can't see where any changes were made.

open the moho file and click "settings" in the timeline. This will open up what's displayed in the timeline.

click the ALL button and OK

you will see that there's layer effects happening throughout the timeline that shouldn't be.

then you can compare it to the original one.

Always make sure when starting an animation to make sure all the edits you want are in frame 0 or 1.

a good way to ensure you're on frame 0 is to goto Menu EDIT>PREFERENCES and click the highlight frame 0

this way you'll always have a red boarder showing confirming you're on frame 0 to avoid mistakes.

Have fun :D

I did exactly what you said and I see no difference between the two. Both of the time lines look the same. :?:

one of the errors was on the bone layer.

You got to remember that each layer changes the timeline when it's selected.

Here's an image to show you.
