Laconic Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Hi! I seem to have successfully made a QT file that imports and can be placed on my object, but I can't make it animate in the choreography. Are there any tutorials or threads that can help guide through the process of adding a QT Movie decal to an object? Thanks! T Quote
Caroline Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Not sure if I am understanding your problem, but this works for me: 1. Right click Images in PWS > Import > Animation or Sequence 2. Locate and import your QT. 3. Create a new model, with a surface. 4. Right click in the modelling window > New > Decal 5. Choose your QT. 6. Create a new choreography. 7. Drag the model into the chor The QT plays on the model. QTtest.mov Quote
Laconic Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Caroline, Thanks. It doesn't seem to work and I haven't yet pinpointed the problem. Did you have to change any of the settings like the "length" of the clip in the image properties? If you just go to a particular spot in the timeline, does it just show the corresponding frame? Any other suggestions are appreciated.. T 1. Right click Images in PWS > Import > Animation or Sequence 2. Locate and import your QT. 3. Create a new model, with a surface. 4. Right click in the modelling window > New > Decal 5. Choose your QT. 6. Create a new choreography. 7. Drag the model into the chor The QT plays on the model. QTtest.mov Quote
Caroline Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 No - I didn't change anything, just did exactly as listed. What A:M version are you on? I was using 15. Could it be the QT compression? What does the format show in Quicktime, Windows > Movie Inspector? Have you tried rendering to a .tga sequence, and using that as the animation. (When you import it, you select Images > Import > Animation or Sequence, and just choose the first .tga in the sequence, not all of them.) Ohhhh - The movie does not show for me until render time. You could try Shift Q, Render Lock Mode, and right click drag a box around the area. At that time it will show the corresponding QT frame for the time. Quote

Laconic Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 SUCCESS! I exported my QT file into an image sequence of TGA files and it worked! Thanks for the suggestion, Caroline!
