simple Animation help


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to make a "fly-thru" animation using the "move along path" style. Every time I try to change the style from "Orbit" to "move along path" in the animation dialog box, the "duration" box changes to 5 seconds and becomes gray. Thus I can not change the duration. Is this a software bug, or is something else wrong with me or me computer ?

If I'm missing something, please tell me how to change the duration of a "move along path" animation.

I tried restarting VW, opening a new file and doing a test. I got the same result. I also tried to delete all previous movie attempts and start with a new movie. I got the same result.

When youre editing the saved views included, at the far right of the timeline there is a small triangle. Double click it to alter the overall length of the animation.

I've already submitted a request to have that UI replaced with something more visible/logical.

It worked ..... Thank you very much .... I had tried clicking and dragging on that little triangle many, many times, to no avail. A simple double click worked. (Too bad I spent so much time trying to figure that out before sending in the question to the forum.) Thanks again.
