THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! i have been so c̶o̶n̶f̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ kerfuffled about this for so long and this is straight forward and easy!

[@CushionSapp]

My favorite kind of Switch layers are the ones Nintendo makes

[@2beornot2bable]

It's not really clear how you're removing the switch functionality from on.

[@ChestnutHead124]

I'm trying to find it too. it seems you only can undo it. Hopefully they can reply about how to do it.

[@illustreightr2630]

Yeah. Whoever's editing these videos isn't exactly conducive to the learning process. Hey @mohoanimation, a little help? See around 00:05:20; how DO you remove Switch functionality from a folder defined as a Switch folder?

[@mohoanimation]

@@illustreightr2630 Sorry, we missed these comments before. Chad is just pressing undo there. You could also right click the layer and transform it to a Bone layer. In some cases, Groups and Bones are similar, so it would also work here

[@motiondesignerpro]

@@mohoanimation извините, но у меня так не получилось. ((

[@viskul]

@jeffreydewaalwebdesign The same problem😔

[@CrankWavesbackupchannel]

I have a switch layer for lip sync and created a head turn (so I also manipulated the mouths) but whenever I do the head turn the switch layer doesn't work anymore.

[@mohoanimation]

@@CrankWavesbackupchannel it is hard to know what is happening without checking how your character is rigged. We recommend you to join our forum and Discord server so the community can help you there: lostmarble.com/forum & lostmarble.com/discord

[@zenyfilmsrambo]

Teacher I don't know when I make the switch the mouths I make move from their place not in the zero frame...only when I star animating the next frames I have them in a folder that is skeletonized and all that is in the camera folder ,, including everything

[@midiotsavant]

I do love the free How-To tutorials that Moho has put together with the release of 14, but It seems like the course files for this character do not have the same layer organization for the eyes and eyelids as shown in the tutorial. Makes it confusing to follow along with the video tutorial.

[@fuchsschule]

Thanks for the great tutorial so far. Anyway: When I right click the eyelids layer and chose "group with selection", nothing happens. I can't figure out whats wrong here. Thanks for the feedback

[@fuchsschule]

Nevermind. Wasn't on frame zero lol.

[@drawnbydaniel]

this happened to me too! thanks for the solve

[@elitsa_nn]

@@fuchsschule Thank you for making this mistake before I did so I could just read your comment and figure out what I was doing wrong ;0;

[@dziku2222]

5:10 you never showed how to make it so you can switch to one eyelid, the other one or both

[@jankdotTV]

i think you would just duplicate left and right, put them both in one group and name it both. So you have 3 options under the switch

[@maivisintin2143]

In the example of the eyelids when you make the switch layer, you can choose sometimes rigth, sometime left, but how do you choose both of them at time whit that function? (sorry the errors i speak in spanish) Thank you! You're so clear

[@jankdotTV]

i think you would make a 3rd option. so you duplicate left and right, then group them together. so you have left, right, both

[@tacobackrunner1308]

I'm glad, I'm not the only person asking how he removed the switch functionality 5:20. Seem weird not to have a key to remove that.

[@user-cu7zi6pu6w]

at 5:21, how did you remove the switch for "on"? You seem to have used a hotkey. Thanks!

[@user-cu7zi6pu6w]

Ah, Moho replies below: "Chad is just pressing undo to make the switch layer become a group again. You could also right click it and transform it into a bone layer. Groups and Bone layers are similar in some ways, so both could work here."

[@alitari13]

you great ty for teaching im really happy

[@andreistaruiala]

Hi. great series! first time diving into moho and I'm really enjoying it so far. one thing that I've missed here is removing the switch functionality of a group. how do you do that? It's covered at 00:05:20 but I can't tell if there is a shortcut key pressed there or something else

[@mohoanimation]

Hi thanks for the feedback. Chad is just pressing undo to make the switch layer become a group again. You could also right click it and transform it into a bone layer. Groups and Bone layers are similar in some ways, so both could work here.

[@andreistaruiala]

@@mohoanimation Thank you very much for the super quick reply. Much appreciated. That makes sense.

[@Mar6008]

@@mohoanimation thx!

[@maurotrabisondi1717]

@@mohoanimation Sorry, it appears that a switch layer can't be converted in a bone layer. I'm in Moho 14.1 Build 20231027 (64-bit) and with a right click this option is missing. A bone layer can be converted in a switch layer, though.

[@milesxmotion]

​@@maurotrabisondi1717the version 14 can't also convert to bone layer when converted previously to a switch layer

[@madhagum234]

how to remove the switch functionality of 'on' (eyelids), making both the eyelids appear on the screen at 05:22 ?

[@mohoanimation]

Hi. Chad just pressed Undo there

[@highjynxanimation4353]

lol wasted a few to many years with adobe Moho is awsome

[@TimLinklater]

Are there shortcut keys to switch from one switch layer to the next? I want to switch frames in the Switch Layer window though- can this be done?? Just like using the arrow keys to go forward/back in the main timeline but in the Switch Layer.

[@mohoanimation]

Alt + C and Alt + D on Windows. Option + C and Option + D on mac.

[@TimLinklater]

THANK YOU!!! @@mohoanimation

[@manjurana7715]

It will pe a better idea to make a thunbnail view aldo on switch selection tool ... 🔥🔥

[@illustreightr2630]

Odd question: can the contents of the switch layers be animations?

[@mohoanimation]

Yes. It can be any kind of layer with any kind of animation

[@illustreightr2630]

@@mohoanimation Thank you! Also, see below; we also had a question re: REMOVING (or toggling) Switch Layer functionality, based on the above video (00:05:20).

[@cristianolisboa2374]

😓😭can anybody help me? How do I remove the Switch function from the layer? The tutorial shows it removing it, but doesn't tell you how to do it.

[@mohoanimation]

Hi. Chad just pressed undo (Ctrl+Z) at that moment
