Animation/action system problems

General Forums Blender Development Discussion

Is it just me, or is the whole animation/action system really weird still? Here’s a simple example to do, with today’s build:

  • new file
  • animate the location of the default cube (-> now it has an action)
  • clear the loc keyframes (-> cube still moves in animation, even though the action is empty…?)
  • move the cube (-> cube doesn’t move in animation anymore)
  • assign the previous, empty action to the cube again (-> the location property seems to still change with the animation, even though the cube isn’t moving in the viewport and there’s no keyframes…?)

Just a lot of weird things like this happening all over the place, and many times I’m not able to do even the simplest tasks of linking/unlinking actions between different objects so that it works.

Where do I see when they’ll open the bug tracker for non-crash bugs?

I was animating shape keys yesterday and I was getting inconsistent issues, too.

Yeah, it seems that the same thing happens with shape keys.
Animate shape key value -> clear keyframes -> value still changes despite there being no keyframes -> change shapekey value -> now it’s stopped.

Are you guys have frequently crushes of dope sheet And graph editor when’s you move key frames?

5

It seldomly crashes for me, but I do get a lot of visual glitches when moving keyframes in dope sheet.

Actually, I had to use the graph editor to actually keyframe values in. the shape key editor in the panel was putting roadblocks up for me and couldn’t even use it.

7

can you try with armature animation on graph editor?

haven’t tried armatures. I imagine they have a ton of bugs to fix before beta, just gotta have some patience for now.
