Please excuse the banding on this gif. The actual gradients are as smooth as usual. But you can animated their angle, colors, and POSITION!!

Hey, people need to know. Anyway, my bedtime....zzz...zzz...zzz

Try putting three dots after the hv_select_keyed_bones. You need to do this if you're not assigning a shortcut.

Holy cow!! You can used as many colors as you can fit in a gradient!!!!



It only had two of those little boxes, and then I accidentally clicked beside one and a third appeared.

Actually with the much improved gradients, strokes make very nice lips. So the interior fill can add the teeth, tongue, and back, and the stroke for the lips doesn't add to the mask.

Yes Adrian, mask with only the fills.


Video tracking mo-cap can be done in Debut. You can only do one bone at a time, and apparently bone parenting is no good for mo-cap.

Exclude stroke check box for masking.

The Debut video tracking can be used to track a layer to the rotation and scaling between two tracking targets.

There's also buttons on the timeline window for audio level and to repeat the audio track from the current frame.

I just have to say, I am very disappointed in Smith Micro. We all sort of made an excuse for them on the last update, since they'd only recently acquired AS. Now they have MC on the payroll and they still aren't smart enough to make use of this forum first. They go make some deal with Wal-mart and l...

Okay, here's what I've learned so far. All windows are undockable, but it looks like you have to undock to close one entirely. The windows hiding shortcuts now toggle docking. The sequencer allows for the coveted easy way to shift keyframes. If you shift a bone layer, it drags along all of its subla...

Since audio tracks are now layers, the sequencer allows you to move them (and any other layer) along the timeline to anywhere you want. If you want to do the auto lip-sync you have to select an already imported audio layer. :wink: It doesn't look like that or a mysterious "Blend poses..." ...

AUDIO TRACKS ADDED AS LAYERS!!!!!!

Smith Micro sucks assssssssss! I couldn't help it, I had to buy it. I've just installed it, but WHOA!, this is big (even for just "Debut"). NLE features, a PDF user manual, FULL gradient control (don't know if it animated yet). Some of the new features still don't seem to be documented tho...

What?!! We haven't even hear about the beta testing, which was promised to be done by forum members. Did SM not get enough bad feedback from the last update snafu?

Agreed, very good work.

ST makes some good points, but overall I don't find these
discrepancies too jarring. Some of it depends on if you plan to
use these mostly zoomed it. Then a "local" vanishing point is probably a good idea.
