Motion Mixer Muddle
 

Hi Folks,

Just started playing about with motion mixer for some non-linear fun and games, question is, am I being blind or is there no way to scrub through the timeline on it, the viewing area appears to be completely limited to the size of the panel. I'm guessing I am being blind as this would make (and is making) setting up animation a bit of a pain in the arse.

I will be eternally greatful to anyone that provides enlightenment (or at least an answer to my question) ;)

:beer:

Hold Alt+LMB drag to move the timeline view in MM and LMB drag over the timeline hashmarks to scrub the "playhead". Ctrl+Alt+LMB drag to stretch the timeline.
Ctrl+LMB to drag the Motions as a group.

Thats excellent, cheers David :attn: - that'll make life alot easier. I have to confess I didn't actually check the LW8 documents (I only have the pdf version so I keep forgetting its there). Does anyone know if there is a reason they haven't used a standard window interface - like the scene editor, for example - in motion mixer, or is it just another of lightwaves little idiosynchrasies?

Motion Mixer was actually created by Mark Brown as a 3rd party plug. He is the same guy that made Keytrak and IKBlender. But,.. unfortunatly he is working at Luxology now. :-(

Ahhh, that explains it - it seems I've received both an answer and enlightenment - for both I am very greatful and on top of that I've just received an email to say that beta 3 has arrived! joy! :attn:

I'm glad I could help.

Gotta love the Open Beta!:beer:
