Issue with 1.90 Animation Editor

[artman186]

I just upgraded my toolkit to version 1.90 this morning.  Whenever I try to open an existing Sprite Animation with the 1.90 editor, the center frame preview window appears zoomed in...*extremely* zoomed in.  Is there some kind of zoom-in/zoom-out functionality?  To add some additional information, if I create a new clip, the preview window appears to be "zoomed" to an appropriate level.  As soon as I select another clip, the preview window zooms in again.

I tried creating a new animation from scratch and everything appears correct until I commit and close the window.  When I re-open the new animation, I have the same issue.

One final note, using the scroll wheel appears to move the preview window diagonally?

I'm using the 1.90 toolkit with Unity 4.0.1f2.

Hi there,
You can zoom in / out using the scroll wheel with the mouse cursor in the preview window. I think I know why everything looks super tiny in there, I'll investigate it.

If I create a brand new animated clip, I can see how the scrolling in/out with the mouse wheel works.  It's not quite how I would have expected (a la stock Windows PNG viewer) but it's functional.  However, when trying to view existing clips or switching between clips in a single animation, I can zoom in/out to my heart's content and my sprite never appears in the window.

The zooming in/out is modelled after the Unity viewport rather than any particular OS
Pressing F should move back to the origin and reset the translation / scale applied. I'll look into this a bit further when I'm back on my WIndows machine.

Thanks for checking into this for me =]

I tried using F to reset the viewport, but I am still unable to see anything in the preview window for any existing clips.

This may sound like a dumb question, but do you have anything selected in the timeline, or are you playing the clip? The clip editor doesn't show anything unless something is selected, or you're previewing a clip.

That's not nearly as dumb a question as my answer, which is obviously no =]  I see exactly how I got confused now, thanks.

Just as a suggestion, if you load the first frame automatically when you load a clip without making them click on it manually I think that may help more first-timers with the new editor like myself.

I actually had it working like that initially, but then decided to swap it to the current behaviour as it was near impossible to actually preview a one-shot animation properly, as it instantly went back to the first frame after the last.

That was the only reasoning behind changing the behaviour so it didn't automatically select a frame.


Might have to think of another solution, maybe some text to say "press play to see preview"
