Starting animated decals at a specific frame


#1

I’ve got some animated quicktime movies that I’m using as decals. What I’d like to do is hold them at the first frame and start them playing at a particular frame of the choreography.

According to the online help files this can be done either in a new action or a choreography action. But I just can’t seem to find the controls. I’ve poked around everywhere I can think of.

Can someone direct me to the right place to look?

Hiya David!

As usual with posting questions online, no sooner had I posted this query than I stumbled upon the settings I was looking for. All done, nice as pie, and if I ever see this question posted by anyone else I’ll be the first to answer.

the short answer is that it sometimes isn’t clear that certain settings can be keyframed until you actually set a key. Then it’s off to the races.

To answer your question, 11.1d+
