Moon Animator Tutorial: Camera

[@ROBLOXCinemaCommunity]

Please note that a lot of the Moon Animator info has been outdated as the plugin has drastically changed since this came out. I'd suggest checking out some other tutorials on KZbin and sorta fill in the gaps, but there should still be some value found in this. -Ben

[@ManDancingMoji]

Man, to see that the keyframe's easing was affected by the next keyframe is weird.

5:25 Hey so uh the edit keyframes menu updated and when i select my easing style as "Constant" it doesnt jump shot it animates a transition still. do you know how to fix this bug?

[@paveldanz]

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear a superhero suit, but this one is a lego person wearing a red and black checkered shirt with black pants. Probably the best hero of all time.

[@myahb.2679]

I'm new to this channel, this might be a bad question but, how do you export an animation with camera movements or..what? I don't even really know if I'm wording that correctly.. Or would I have to code in the camera movements? If you have a video on this it would we helpful if you could link it, also great tutorial!

[@Scout.]

2:10 a lot of people probably won’t see this but if 1080 doesn’t fit on your screen you can click the actual resolution button and change it to fit to screen. Then after you’re done with your animation you can switch it back to actual resolution and record

[@bin9066]

How do you make camera shake with the camera tool in Moon Animator, say when you are using it for an explosion or whatever.

[@insertname3293]

If you do read this, do you know how to add multiple rigs? When I add too many and re-open moon animator after saving, it compeltly breaks and all the rigs merge into 5 slots

[@ROBLOXCinemaCommunity]

To fix this issue, press the circle in the top left of moon that expands all the model slots. Then save and close Moon. After that, open the Moon animation, and press the circle in the top left of Moon again. -Ben

This is really helpful thanks

I cant use CFrame and move the camera,it just stands there in one position and doesnt move...

How did you go on value, Like what is the key for it.

For anyone having trouble, if you have a plug-in that changes Studio’s camera, disable it or uninstall it.

i’m having a bit of trouble, when i add a key frame the camera resets to its “original” position.

What am I doing wrong? I disabled all camera-related plugins (maybe I'll try disabling all plugins in general), and I'm still having issues. When I click c-frame and add a keyframe it teleports me to some sort of reference point. I can just manipulate it like you do and add a keyframe at different angles. It just keeps going back to that one point. I don't get it. Help? D:

[@ROBLOXCinemaCommunity]

Hi Wowzer. Could it be that you have the camera enabled? Try Ctrl + Space to temporarily disable the camera and see if that works.

[@DeezBest]

do you set the field of view in moon animator or the roblox studio camera?

[@dangerousdoings8066]

I might be tripping (I’m very new), but for some reason whenever I have selected any keyframe from C-Frame in the camera (pressing the numpad 7 specifically), it likes to soft look itself and turns the keyframes outline orange but not popping up with any window to edit anything. I can no longer do anything in the Moon Animator window anymore, nor can I close the window. I have to open up another file of Roblox Studio, and it’s really bugging me. Everything else works fine, so I’m just confused and annoyed.

[@ROBLOXCinemaCommunity]

Punished Snake hmmmmm I’m assuming you’re accidentally interacting with roblox studio or something, are you clicking on the key frames and then pressing 7? That usually works -dare

[@dangerousdoings8066]

ROBLOX Film & Media Community Thanks for the reply! Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing, as well as manually selecting the keyframe. Edit: So it was just a bug and the dude fixed it, so I just need to update my plugin.
