requests and ideas to accelerate production
Posted: 18 Jun 2012, 23:02
Hi all,
I'm sure that i'm not alone in this case. We spend our nights to make and unmake hundred of connexions and keyframes. Here are some requests to gain time and focus in important things.
The less we have to click the more we will be able to do.
Here are some of my requests :
1. Ability to merge animation inside another
Sometime it's more readable and efficient to get all the keyframes rather than just s1 to s2 transition of a nested animation.
2. Ability to get the original time of a nested transition
One example of use : sometime a part of the show is synchronised with an audio clip and a keyframe animation. If i want to embed this animation inside another keeping the audio synchronisation I have to tweak a bit. It could be nice to get the duration of a transition with a double click like quicktime movies control property.
3. Ability to open child animation clicking directly in nested transition
4. Merge to nested scene
Same way as merge to container but merge inside a subscene
5. Square selection in hierarchie window (by pity)
Like in the content windows. Sometime we have hundred nodes to select and it's a nightmare when you missed one.
6. Copy/paste of keyframe (just the basis)
7. Ability to block the position of content nodes
The way we present nodes connection explain what we do with but when we expand hidden ones all the visual structure is destroyed.
8. Ability to add anotation to link in content window
Comments and annotations make the project more easy to maintain.
9. Merge to content container
10. Global variables
11. Persistent variables
Some externalized variables could keep the last values we give to them like the shape surface.
12. More var type for Events argument
Sometime we need to pass string argument
13. Control property for movie advanced node like quicktime movie
Retrieve the duration of the movie with just 2 clicks
14. Scripts like photoshop for repeatable action
15. Color preset like fonts preset
Maybe we could make a poll ?
I'm curious to hear you about that.
