I'm glad you guys are talking about this, I find the offset tool is a double edged sword. I so hate how the default view is of the offset character on frame 0, it drives me freeking nuts, I sometimes don't even offset at all because of the problems with this feature. Of course it is not realistic to...

OK was I supposed to put this in the ulities folder? Is that why you are all talking about modifyer keys? Or is this script meant to replace the old shape select? Have I missed something? I only did the icon because it showed up as a new tool without an icon in the 'other' section, I think I might k...

If you want here's a choice of tool symbols for your neat script synthsin http://charleskenway.com/anime/syn_select_layer.png http://charleskenway.com/anime/syn_select_layer2.png syn_select_icon I just put the tool in the regular tools folder and started selecting. I might be using it incorrectly bu...

You FREAKING LEGEND Synth, after trying this tool for three and a half seconds I was singing the halleluiah chorus.
While you are at it we still all need that 'generate Oscar winning feature animation' button, all things are now possible.

This looks really useful thanks synth, for all your scripting endeavours, I can't wait to try your new tools when I get a moment.

Yeah I tried to live without a credit card for years, I finally gave up when I went to the US for a job. I was booked into the Lux in Bel Air -all paid for by work (nice), but they wouldn't check me in without a credit card (nasty). Luckily my twin brother was living in Studio City, otherwise I woul...

Believe me slo, it doesn't take an odd codec to confuse many mac or pc users, I even had an " I can't play that file "from a pc user with a mov last week, the fact is they were trying to play mov's on WMP. I'm not bagging mac or pc users, but we all know noobs and wrinklies who just can't ...

As Vern says, QuickTime is not just for macs I am a pc user and no fanboy of any hardware or operating system. I do find that QuickTime codecs are more robust than the others, that's not to say that avi wmv and mpeg don't have their purposes, they do. Increasingly though I am leaning towards QT espe...

Quicktime pro is a worthy purchase rogermate, I never regretted that one though I have regretted many others.
It's a one off purchase and it will give you access to saving to iphone and other formats with awesome compression, it will update itself and it will make you a happy chappy.

The effect you are talking about might be if I understand correctly, a post effect called bloom. Check out magic bullet movie looks, it's a great standalone and plugin by red giant. Basically it puts a glow on the highlights and bleed on the dark areas, like a film effect, amongst a whole bunch of o...

That was very cool, love the pig.

Sorry Mad, didn't I tell you that one?
But, seriously careful with that shift key, it is easy...too easy to accidentally change carefully prepared settings if you let that cursor wander to the wrong bone with that ol' shift down.

that was actually fun, love the character, where's my credit card?

That's excellent thanks DODGY,
That bake motion looks very useful too, I wish I had seen that a few weeks ago.
.....can it bake dynamics?

Hey, Sythnsin's idea wasn't bad at all though, that might be worth a shot too. The gravity layer script might be a be tricky, it is an 'heller' script- thanks Vern- 8) ...one of my favourites for it's concept, but I never worked out how to make it start at the anywhere else but frame 0, or is it fra...
