Re: urgent animation keyed question

[Pete Edmunds <pete(at)eclipsecreative.co.uk>]

argh damit!
opened the scene and it doesnt work again!
i have to isolate the lattice in a viewport view it through user mode, open it in the shape manager, and scrub the timeline
it seems to kick into action, its almost as if it forgotten that it has shape animation.
is there anyway to plot the deformation of the lattice. as an fcurve and then delete the shapes etc.

ah found it for some reason the clips were all offset by -49 frames? so 
in the offset i changed the offset to -49
it worked

the curve is set to cycle and in the fcurve editor i can see the 
curves cycling  before and after the keys, i've even dragged the keys 
to start at frame yet yet the animation still starts at 50.
i can send you a model of the lattice it may make it easier to figure 
out.

Hi Pete,

Open an explorer for the heart object and you'll see a 'lattice' 
property.
Open that up and a key frame may have been set on the 'mute' parameter. 
If it's not that then the shape animation cycle for the lattice probably
doesn't start until frame 50, so you'll just need to drag the FCurves to
start at frame 1.  If this makes the animation short, check 
Curves->Cycle in
Animation Editor.
The shape animation will have either been done through Shape->Shape 
Manager
or through the Animation Mixer (ALT+0).  Either way you'll still have 
to go
into Anim Editor to tweak curves.

i have a model of a heart that is beating. this is done with a 
lattice using 3 set shapes and mixing between them
i have a problem in that i didnt setup the animation. it seems the 
lattice has been muted for the 1st 50 frames so it doesnt begin 
beating until frame 50. i cant find how to un mute this animation so 
it starts from frame one. can anyone help
