I have text on a chalkboard that i need to make disappear and new text appear. How is that accomplished?

I am on standard crazytalk animator.

Thanks!

You can do this by adding numerous copies of the same text prop into your scene at the exact same location.

Then add the different text to each prop.

Finally use the Show/Hide command (top toolbar) to make each one visible/invisible at the appropriate points on the Timeline.

So for a three Message Board setup you could do the following:

Frame 001: Board 1 Visible, Board 2 Invisible, Board 3 Invisible

Frame 200: Board 1 Invisible, Board 2 Visible, Board 3 Invisible

Frame 400: Board 1 Invisible, Board 2 Invisible, Board 3 Visible

Give it a try to see how it works. :)

Hey Thanks! I didn't see the eyeball.

When animations change...like from body animation to default pose, there is a jerky look to the the actor. Is there an easy way around that?

Also, when I make key-framed animations..movement....I don't usually see the keyframe dots, why is that?

Thanks!

Which version of CrazyTalk Animator are you using? Standard or Pro?
