I am trying to animate a small thing. A smiley face which bounces up and down. I have set it all up etc. but when I preview nothing happens. On the right hand side, in the movie docker, it shows the correct frames, (all 6 of them).
In the main window, when I click through the 6 frames, they are all frame 1. And when I press play, nothing happens (it says processing in the bottom corner, and keeps filling up the bar and starting again (assuming it is playing, but playing the same frame repeatedly?)
Not sure what to do with it? When I saved it, and opened the file, it kind of worked, all though frame one stayed there throughout the animation, the others did appear and do their thing, just behind frame one.
Any tips please?
Thanks!
Bump!
Hi Samantha
The only thing I can think of is that, the first object is still "active" and has not been combined with the background of frame1. So when u play the animation it will still show on top of the others, and when exported I believe it will flatten itself on every frame.
So in the movie docker select the right frame(thumbnail will have red border), then go to your Object docker and right click and combine the object with the background.
I hope this will help and solve your problem.

LOL@bump. Did you flatten each frame before moving on to the next? If you have an object (layer) other than the Background - it will be repeated across all frames.
