Hi everyone,

Hey, I am making my first movie, but I have a problem.  I did not realize that as you move the scene around to work on it, that the scene motions (angle of view) are also being recorded; so, I have a bunch of camera movements that I do not want.  How do I remove the camera movements from the scene, so that the first scene is static as the movie plays?  This way, I can redo the scene motions.  I do want to add camera motions, but intentional camera motions, not accidental movements because I was working on a scene?

Happy Labor Day,
Mark

Preview Camera doesn't have Transform Keys. All ,other Cameras do. Open other Cameras Timelines & delete the Transform Keys you don't want. See iC5 Screenshot.

ADDED. BTW, you should be Editing in Preview Camera Mode,, if you're moving the camera around & Lock all other Cameras, then you won't have that problem...

another way is while the camera is selected in the scene. Right click and select remove animation.

Thank you 'colour' and 'paulg625,'

That worked perfectly!  I had about a hundred or so Transform Keys.  I did not knowingly use any camera's, I am just now learning how to do that.  I don't know how the TK's got there?  It seemed that every time I changed the view to work on a particular animation, it recorded the move into the movie.  How do you switch between Preview Camera mode and (I don't know the term) other views?

Thanks again for your help and expertise,
Mark

At the top of the iClone window, you should see a "Camera" drop-down.
It will include "Camera" and "Preview."

As you've noticed, anytime you change anything in iClone, including camera positions, it creates a keyframe.

So following the advice already given in this thread, do most of your editing with the Preview camera (which doesn't really exist, and has no keyframes).  The next trick is to remember to switch to the camera you want when you render your file.

If you like your "official" camera settings and movements (if any), you can select the camera and there is a checkmark to "Lock" it so you don't accidentally change it.

Yeah, it happens to all of us, but you get used to it after a while and develop your own style of doing what you want while avoiding what you don't want to do.

To add one more thing: While setting up your scene (placing characters, props, etc.), make sure the timeline cursor is at the beginning (Frame 1).

This prevents surprises where all kinds of things mysteriously start to move around while you wonder why...:unsure: This even happens to experienced users...:blush:

Thanks, justaviking,

I changed it to Preview.  Every corner I turn, I am learning something new.  I absolutely love iClone 7; what a communication wonder.  I spent a week learning motions, now, I am starting to apply them to my characters, one move at a time (mostly hand gestures.)  It's very time consuming; glad I spent so much time learning all the motion possibilities.  I already added about twenty-five sound clips to my project.  I use NaturalReader for the female voice, and my own voice for the male; it's working better than I thought it could.  Doing my own voiceovers is forcing me to pronounce my words better; maybe after this experience, people will stop saying "what did you say?"  Though the movie I am making is only a practice movie, I am learning more with every step.  What an incredible journey of discovery iClone is; the possibilities are staggering...

Past most of the frustration and into the wonder of it all,
Mark

Animagic, yup, so true.
