Avimator strangeness

Hello everyone. I am using Avimator for the first time and am having some weird issues. I created a two frame "pose" which works great.

Now I want to extend the bvh to 60 frames and animate it. When I do this, each frame is now a key frame - the key button has a key in it for every frame. So.. I manually clicked that button 58 times to unset the "keyframe" thing. I then went to frame 30, repositioned my av, and set it as a keyframe. Now having a keyframe in frames 0, 1, 30, and the last frame, I expected Avimator to "fill in" the other frames.

Well, a few things happened:

1. Somehow my last frame now has the av forced into the T position. And I am unable to do anything about it.
2. My av just sits still throughout the animation, with a single frame change when frame 30 is played.
3. When the final frame is played, my av is left in the T position.


Other things I noticed:

1. The file with frame 0 and 1 only - I need to load it two or three times before Avimator will have loaded it properly.

2. While editing the two frame bvh, I needed to temporarily add a third frame so I could reposition the av in frame 1 without my av going crazy or disappearing completely.

3. I was able to remove the last frame with my av in T position *once* by selecting it, reducing the total frame count by click-dragging my cursor in the "Frame 31 of 60" box, then clicking the frame slider and pressing left arrow key. I am unable to do this again. Ugh. How weird is that?

4. I am unable to unset frame 0 as a keyframe. Is this something I should be concerned about?

What am I doing wrong?

One question, are you using Mac? If so, that is why it happens.
Same here. And I tried starting it on the Windows machine which was on my office, and I realized that it didn't happen on Windows.
It must be a bug for Mac port.

Windows XP

After toying a bit more, I noticed none of those problems surface as long as I never close the bvh file I am working on. Saving is fine, but once I select New or Open, I must start from scratch.

It is really strange. But it is certain that there is a machine that works normally.

bvh files do not have support for keyframes, so when you save as bvh and re-open it, you will lose *all* keyframe information. I recommend using the latest patched version of avimator and save all animations as ".avm" files before finally exporting it to .bvh for upload to SL.

I got why this happend. My mistake was to mess up the new application with the old data. I should have made a brand new directly or deleted all of old files. And I recognized the same problem with you but all were solved.

Other things might have other reason. But you'd better stand on the normal start point first.
