Some questions about the timeline.

l_riefkohl_ferrer_1923365ed0

I have some simple questions about the timeline and others not that simple and I was hoping to be able to get some help here.

First one is how can I re-dock it at the bottom of the interface? I un-docked it temporarily and now I want to put it back, but I'm not able to place it at the bottom, just in the left or right panes.

The second question is how can I copy and paste frames. Just in case that I need to edit my animation.

Third one is about the cameras. I actually don't want to render a movie, but a number of poses and I just want to make each frame into a different pose with it's own camera? Until now I'm able to use a different pose for each frame, but I'm not able to switch to other cameras. How can I switch them and make Daz render each frame to a different image with it's own camera?

1.  if you un-dock  the timeline  tab , now the tab are separated as new  box (dock) area  whch include the timleline tab.

then  hover moouse on the top border,  of the dock,  you may see, mouse cursol  change as cross (translate) arrow shape.

and you can  drug the dock (include the tab) to the direction, where you hope to locate the dock .

yellow light line may appear, and it tell you the location where the dock will be located on daz UI.

if you need to locate the dock bottome area,, you may need drug down to bottom line area of ds main window.

 

But if you had changed the dock type as "un-dockable"  ,,  it change as  window type. and un-dockable.

 then you may need to close the window  once. and re- open timeline tab from top menu.  now it return usuall dock.

(or locate the tab on to another dock.. by drug the tab.)  after that, undock the tab again. then re-locate it. as new dock. as same as above.

 

2. save as pose.  it can copy all animation of selected nodes with frame range. you may select all figure nodes, then decide animation range,

 eg 10 to 20.  after that load the saved pose file,  on  the frame. eg 25,,

where you want to start the saved animation.   now on 25 frame show the 10 frame pose. 26  frame show the 11 frame which you saved before,

of course you can load the animation file, on 15 frame, then overwrite it. by frame 10 animation too.

 

  but the best easy way (and you can clear see what you are doing)  is buy plug in,,,,(key mate and graph mate)

actually, without it,, we reall feel difficulity just to  check which nodes values are recoreded as key.  about daz timeline.

 

3 I do not know the way,, I think,, I need to render each frame,, by each camera... as separate image sequence. then edit it in other

conposit editor. 

 

I hope if it can help somehting, but usually more clever user may help you
