is there any way to make this work with anime studio 7 ?

[Funksmaname]

@amgitson it works with 7, but crashes on export - if you can isolate AS to a single CPU it might work (its a mutli-core issue) otherwise, you can always bake your animation and remove the embedded scripts (if you use baking, you could manually bake each pose without ever enabling live morphing, and therefore not needing the embedded scripts at all) - but if you have the chance to upgrade to 8.1+ performance is WAY improved with MDs. (the issue was fixed in 8 and speed was amped in .1)

I am sorry maybe I am dumb or something, but I am doing exactly what is in this video. When I come to the part when you move the bone, nothing happens. I am so frustrated. I have tried this 10 times. Can someone help me?

[Funksmaname]

@Utubing74 hi, in the menu options for the script, make sure 'real time morph' is enabled. Also, nothing happens at frame 0 - so make sure you are somewhere else on the timeline. If it still doesn't work the problem is likely the naming of bones/actions and/or not including the embed script on the vector layers you wish to affect. If this doesn't help, please come to the forum and post there! good luck :)

dose eveything have to be on one layer or can it be in a group folder?

[Funksmaname]

@11newells the latest version only needs 'apply morphs' script embedded to all targets (no script on the morphdials layer) - as long as the layer is within the same level or above the targets it should work. Infact, the embed script is only for real time preview - if you use the 'bake' option instead to bake keys you dont even need to embed the file at all and the targets can be anywhere in your document.
