Resolved Curious problem in V17g?

[Simon Edmondson]

I'm having to prepare something for a course starting in October and have encountered a curious problem in V17G.

I set it up last night and left it rendering away. Saved it, "Saved animation as" and reloaded the project.

 

Only to find that the chor had lost the names of the model shortcuts.

I redid those and rendered again and, while that was going through thought to use Multiple master to animate the next part of the idea.

When the project was loaded into the multiple, the names had disappeared again, even though it was going through on the same machine in saved form ?

 

 

This is the first, with names in place.

 

 

This is the second, same project, same chor and models. Notice the names missing.

Any suggestions as to cause and how to correct ?

It happens if you re-save a PRJ after you render?

 

I'm not sure about the disappearing names but you don't need to re-save a PRJ after rendering.

 

If you just save the PRJ and reload it the names don't disappear, right?

Thank you for your reply.

In the past ( other versions of AM ) I've had trouble with the program crashing if, after doing a "save animation as" the frames were fremoved from the PWS. So I got into the habit of saving before render, then reloading the project after saving out the animation.

 

That was what I tried to do with this problem.

 

But, on reloading, the names had gone from the shortcuts in the chor.

Thought it must have been an error on my part, so redid it.

Saved again

 

 

While that was rendering, thought to setup the next part, using a multiple copy.

When that opened up, the names had gone again, even though it was the same project and files going through on the original open project.

 

I let that render go through and have since extended the animation ( its a text scroll). Hoping to get a full render out without any other problems before checking again later today.

Will report back on what happens.

May have found the cause,

Operator Error.

Retried the multiple option and, this time it worked. I may not have saved properly before relaunching the project.

Apologies .

17g is out?

Still using f here.

v17g was out over a year ago. We... well, some of us... are on v18f now (that 'f' at the end must have confused you)

Although I expect Simon is referring to v17g+ which was a release for Mac only to allow for compatibility with Mavericks. ( LInk to v17g+)

v17g+ effected no change for the PC release.

Thanks Rodney. PC here.
