HELP! Just upgraded to AS10! Having issues!

[Blackhawk1]

So, I just upgraded to ASP10 from ASP8, and I'm having some issues that I can't seem to resolve or find answers to. I'm running the 32-bit version, BTW. Here's the issues....

• 1. I can import a Poser scene just fine and am able to animate it on the time line, and set keyframes. BUT, when I export the animation, the poser character that I just animated does NOTHING. It remains in the frame 1 position for the entire animation. What am I doing wrong?
  2. When exporting an animation, the animation in the window showing the progress of the rendering is choppy, sometimes goes black, and occasionally (especially when using a Poser character) flips upside down. However, the final rendered animation turns out just fine (except for the issue when rendering a Poser scene character). In ASP8 it moves along just fine, showing each frame in the animation as it's rendered. How do I get this to stop?
  3. If I export the animation in MP4 format, the colors are off or go darker. For example, yellow gets darker to almost orange. Is this common when exporting to MP4s? How do I avoid this happening?

ANY help anyone can provide will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance!

OH! And I forgot to mention, ASP10 is pointing to Poser Pro 2014 as needed.

3. All non-lossless codecs, like MPEG, h264, and the like, will change colours to a certain extent. What I do is to export to a lossless master, open that in my video editor, and apply some filter before exporting to a colour-changing codec to balance that change.

2. I've never experienced the upside down thing but the rest sounds like normal behavior to me.

3. As the above post indicates, it's good practice to export an HQ file then mess around with it. (it could depend also on your player. for example quicktime player is notorious for fading colors)

Thanks for the replies. I'll work on what was suggested.

HOWEVER, I'm still needing help with #1.... Poser scene character not moving when exporting the movie.

Just in case, are you sure the animation is on the mainline.

Not exactly sure what you are referring to here. Please elaborate.

My bad, this was an answer to a different post. Not sure how it got mixed up. I must have had two windows opened i guess. Sorry
