Sorry, I can't help but I've run into this problem with certain fonts too. I reported it to the developers a while back, some information was exchanged, but I don't think anything came of it.

I'll check my notes and see if I ever found a workaround solution.

GIF is limited to 256 colors so it's never going to look the same as a full color 24-bit render (with up to 16.8 million colors.) The problem is that GIF is a crappy image format from the 1980's. :) One way you can compensate is to use the dithered option. This mixes pixels within the defined 256 co...

Another reason I'm adverse to using video is for some reason it really bogs the performance of Moho down for me. For some reason image sequences have far less impact on performance for me. This makes complete sense. When using a video, the entire clip needs to decompress and load in RAM. if the cip...

Yeah! When I was a little kid, I watched their Trinity movies in the theater and loved them.

I've tried systematically selecting every different layer on different frames but the option for "Animation > Track Layer To Video" simply is not available on any of them... ...You can link group layers to the tracked layers? If you mean going to "Animation > Track Layer To Video&quo...

Good luck with the new machine!

Just a thought: I haven't tried this but try linking a group layer to the tracked layer. This way you can easily offset whatever is inside the group to make corrections or additive animation.

After tracking your footage, you need to select the layer you wish to follow the tracking data by using Animation>Track To Video. A window will pop up that lets you select the tracked layer. If you have multiple tracking points, the layer can use it for rotation and, I'm assuming, scale. It's been a...

Sounds familiar. Maybe this will help?

If it's not that, hopefully Wes can pop in with a definitive answer.

Awesome! I'm glad you found a solution.

If you have any questions about Layer Shortcuts after watching the video, just ask here. I'm sure Wes, I or someone else here will respond.

That's strange. Can you play anything from the Vimeo website?

Here's a direct link to the vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/331818695

If there is some kind of regional restriction, I don't think I can do anything about that.

Yeah, I think most computer users will find SSD is fine for general everyday use, but users working daily in video editing, animation and vfx need to frequently write and re-write data and, unfortunately, an SSD is limited in how many times it can be reliably re-written to. To be fair, SSD is much m...

If you haven't seen this already, here's a video I made for installing and using Layer Shortcuts:


Introduction To Layer Shortcuts

This covers all the basics. I'll try to make a project specific video at a later date that includes using Layer Shortcuts.

Oh, almost forgot: get one with decent battery performance and a removable battery pack if possible. The tm2 could run for about 6 or more hours and I carried a spare battery when I needed more 'on-the-road' time. This allowed me to animate 'Scareplane' all over town, including parks, diners, coffee...

Sorry, I don't know much about lower cost laptops. I like Lenovo these days--very good quality and sometimes they have good sales--but there are probably much cheaper laptops out there with similar capabilities. I'm mostly writing to say, Moho doesn't really require a high end laptop for decent perf...
