I think its Studio, the icon says iClone v2.5 Studio so I presume that is studio version.

[quote][b]aknzrdude (8/1/2008)[/b][hr]you need to use th motion editor for string motions together - click on animation, then modify, you should see a button for motion editor (at lest in hte studio version) click on that and motion editor launches - it looks like hte timeline - you should see a red horizontal bar that represents the current motion, just click on a frame beyond that and right click to insert the new motion. you can then also select 'align' to so the new motion starts off from a similar location as the previous location- more user help at coolclones.com - ask the mods there for the live tutorial schedule (delivered via skype)[/quote]Thanks for the help but when I click on the Motion Editor, it doesn't load up! Have I forgot to install something?

[b]Than But h I supply all three persons in the scene and try to position them on different places in the night club. Is this correct?[/b]
sounds right
[b]
Than I have maybe 10 seconds ( 600 frames ).an I open a new project, my first_video_in_nightclub and supply the night club scene to this prI want a 3 minutes video. Do I must now make project length to 18000 frames? And is this the maximum of my animated video?[/b]

actualy it is 30 frames per second so it would be 30x60x3 to get number of frames. click on hte 'clock' at the bottom of the screen - it should open a window, enter the number of frames needed

[b]Or can I save 3 or so projects, export them as avis and use another program to make a 15 minutes video?[/b]
i typically edit the motions, export them as avis, change camera angle, re-export that and use a video editor to combine them- i have never used the same shot for a whole 15 minute. See below is long video i made (10 minutes) and see the variation in camera angles, not many shots above 1 minute [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX97b69zq4U]watch video here[/url]

[b]
Maybe somebody can explain whats the best way to start a 3 minutes project with 3 persons moving and 2 persons speaking together.[/b]
i would sugges to download a software called audacity - it is free, you can use it to edit wav files. I typically would have 2 files, one for actor A another for Actor B, i measure how long actor A audio is and i go to actor b audio file and insert 'silence' for the same lenght of time. I then go to iclone, apply facial animation to charactre A using audio file A, then click on actor B and use the wav file with the silence as its audio file

At the bottom of the program you should see the time of the animation and a little clock. Click on the little clock and it will come up with a window. Here you can change the time settings for the animation.

Maybe, if I ask in a similar way, we both will get any answer. So here is my question:I would like, first to understand iClone in its structure, before I begin to do something.Here is my status of understanding:My first project should have 3 actors at one location.I have the location nightclub and I begin now at first to produce 3 different characters and save the faces and bodies to the custom folder.Than I open a new project, my first_video_in_nightclub and supply the night club scene to this project.Than I supply all three persons in the scene and try to position them on different places in the night club. Is this correct?Than I let move every charakter at the same time. Than I have maybe 10 seconds ( 600 frames ). But I want a 3 minutes video. Do I must now make project length to 18000 frames? And is this the maximum of my animated video?Or can I save 3 or so projects, export them as avis and use another program to make a 15 minutes video?Maybe somebody can explain whats the best way to start a 3 minutes project with 3 persons moving and 2 persons speaking together.Or is any German here, who can talk with me by phone and give me an idea to understand it in my nature language.Also, I want to know, what's the difference between this forum and the coolclones. Can anybody explain it, because it makes no sense for me to be in 2 forums with the same content. I am a little confused in this matter.:w00t:Thanks for any feedback.

Adding more than one preset animation

gamer--x — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:09:40 GMT

I have been trying to find out how to do this for a long time and finally came here to do it. Now here is my question:I have my avatar, and have added one preset animation for them but when I go to add another, it overides the previous one! How do I get my avatar to do one of these preset animations then move onto another?
