Auto Keyframe Mode

[clintonman]

Thanks but as said you might want to check your AutoKey script.

Code: Select all

	if(Node.ConExists("Preferences/AnimPref","autokey") && Node.Value("Preferences/AnimPref","autokey")) 
	{
		RsAnim.SetKeyFrame(Node.FirstSelected(), RsTime.CurrentTime());
		if(Node.Exists("Scripts/CustomCommands/KeyInterp"))
			Activity.Run("Scripts/CustomCommands/KeyInterp/copyDefaultInterp");

Code: Select all

Activity.Run("Scripts/CustomCommands/KeyInterp/copyDefaultInterp");

You lost me there. The copyDefaultInterp doesn't run unless the interpolation scripts are installed.

This code was taken from the AutoKey script dated 9/27/2013 downloaded again today from your site.
And with the above installation your Simple Script Command AutoKey(s) (that is installed in all the Select widgets, etc.) calls the AutoKey script.
I understand that if the KeyInterp script is not present it will not call the copyDefaultInterp script.
I was just thinking that was the problem. Maybe not. HTH

Gotcha, not a problem. It makes the key take the custom interpolation if the script is installed otherwise it just sets a key and leaves it.

The latest installer has been uploaded, so you can check it out.

It's not 100% tested yet. The final test is I download, install it and make a youtube video. I have a few other utility scripts to run through the process first.

What do you think about this Automatic Keying panel for your update?
It has the ability to scrub the time line forward and reverse.

I don't see the advantages of it. Why use this instead of the timeline for scrubbing?
It does make me think that a button on the animation toolbar might be a better place to control autokey than in the preferences panel.

Well I got the idea when I watched your video. The thought was that you can drag the panel closer to where you are working. There is no scrubber on the Animation toolbar. The button on the panel starts your script and opens the AnimPerf panel in the Stack, and gives status when it is running. The panel also has a Help file just like the other Anim tools. It lessons the steps on initial startup, the movement from where your working to the bottom of the screen to where the timeline is. It is up to you it is ready if you want to try it.

You should make a video of it.

I am not setup with a screen capture recorder on Win10, still trying to get my head straight with the new OS.
I think I still have the old screen capture recorder from BetaSpace, but I am not sure if it is compatible with Win10.
What OS do you use?
What screen capture recorder do you use?
Can NOT wait to try your Automatic Keyframing Mode.

I included the RsAnimPlugin.rsx in the Unofficial Update. There is no Prototype installed though.
