There's are Copy/Paste buttons in the custom panel that you can use to apply the style to the regular side of the panel. This works, but be aware that it completely overrides any override changes you made in the regular side. I'm guessing what you really want is a way to automatically merge the sett...

[Revised from a previous post:] When I’m working on a production with multiple shots, I typically make a 'work' directory where I save incremental versions of my project, and the most recent version of the asset is saved outside of my work directory and has no version number. This unnumbered version...

I, too, wish there was a fixed Grid as an option. The layer-specific Grid is definitely useful (sometimes I wish other programs had this as an option,) but as a global 'project-wide' tool, it's not as helpful. For now, I would do what slowtiger suggested: make a separate overlay layer and use that a...

If you're using the Apple ProRes option, I think this is caused by a variable frame rate setting inside the codec. Apple iPhone videos do this, and it makes me nuts when editing footage exported from the phone--the playback looks fine, but the footage's frame rate is all over the place, which makes ...

I should add that, I don't typically bother naming shapes. It's a fairly new thing for me, and I only do it when I KNOW I'll be selecting and animating a bunch of stacked shapes in a rig or animation. Most recently, this was for the hair of characters in the last couple of productions I worked on, w...

On top of all those methods, I would use the export option "Render at half frame rate" at the Export Animation window.... Great call! I totally forgot about this option! :D Trying to recall exactly what we did on that Nissan anime commercial. (Geez...that was 23 years ago!) I believe we a...

Thinking about that...Is there a reason to name shapes (for the user)... Lately, I've been using Shape Names like crazy. This is mostly because I'm using layers with many shapes (30 or more in each layer), multiple instances of Liquid Shapes in each layer, and Rai's Shapes Window to manage and edit...

Cool! Glad that helps!

Here's one more: depending on how you animated the Moho project, you could also grab all the keyframes and use Alt+Drag to compress the animation to half (for twos) or one-quarter (for fours) of the duration, then render that out. Then, in your compositing or video editing program, time stretch it t...

Another trick is to remove every other frame of your animation and then time-stretch the remaining frames 2X. This one, you can do in Moho in a second project. It's probably easier to do in a video editor, though. BTW, Black Magic Design's Fusion can fill the missing frames by holding the existing o...

If you have After Effects, add the Posterize Motion effect to an Adjustment Layer above your Moho layers and dial it to 12. If the animation was animated on ones at 24 fps, this converts the animation's frame Interval to 2. I use this cheat all the time. It's easy, cheap, and removes the 'digital' s...

That looks fantastic, Jimmy! The designs and animation are top-notch!

Thanks for sharing it

You can convert an FBF layer to a Switch and vice versa from the Layer Settings window. (Enable/disable Frame By Frame.) To view all the frames of a Switch layer simultaneously, create an empty Group above the Switch layer and drag the contents of the Switch to the Group. When you've finished editin...

I typically use a post-applied motion blur effect in compositing, for example, Twixtor or Photoreal Motion Blur in After Effects. This is a simulated motion blur based on internal pixel tracking, and It's faster than rendering Motion Blur directly on the frames. Unlike rendering with motion blur, th...

BTW, lately, I've been using Liquid Shapes to shade vector drawings. Combined with Rai's Shapes Window, I can set up locks of hair with fairly detailed highlights, and because it's all vectors, the setup can be easily animated with bones, point animation, Curver, and/or Smart Bones. (Magnet tool is ...
