story mode - reverses 1st clip after insert the 2nd

#1

I would need some explanation. why does MB turn my 1st clip 180° on Y-axis around the teardrop the same second I insert a 2nd take to story editor? I cheered 10 minutes ago when it looked like story mode is a good alternative to motionBlends crappy blending bug. but now I curse MB again. MB is just 1 jump after another from the hot pan into the fire.

what could be the origin of this flipping ?

second take or second clip?

clips try to auto-match depending on how you insert them…and what options are checked. If one take is facing one direction and the other is facing another, it might get the mach wrong and flip it…?

hard to tell really with out more info on your data, where the clips are coming from , etc…

  • just adding another take to the mobu scene should not affect story.
    *read the story help files on matching clips so you now what its tryihng to do. there are many options for clip matching… and you can always rotate the teardrop by hand.

motionbuilder version number and patch would also be good to know…post when having issues like this.

Story can be flaky some times.
