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?

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.
Thanks for any feedback.
Andi

| 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.

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

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?
sounds right
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?
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
Or can I save 3 or so projects, export them as avis and use another program to make a 15 minutes video?
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 watch video here
Maybe somebody can explain whats the best way to start a 3 minutes project with 3 persons moving and 2 persons speaking together.
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

Thanks for the help but when I click on the Motion Editor, it doesn't load up! Have I forgot to install something?

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