I'm trying to alter a material using replace material on some 3D text. It won't allow anything to be viewed in rt hand viewer, won't show changes made to the material in lefthand view, or it just hangs, then when I close the comp and try to re-open it, it just sits there as if I've done nothing and I have to shut down Fusion.
I've tried deleting some of the 3D tools and re-saved the comp as a new version, but with the same problems occuring.
I've opened the comp in F7 and it works perfectly.
After a couple of weeks use I'm starting to doubt F8's commercial usability when these issues are occurring and I have deadlines to meet, so I think I'm going to stick with F7 until F8 gets a software update.
Are any other users having similar issues? Hard to tell if it's software, hardware or combo - and particularly confusing since F7 works pretty much flawlessly with the same comps.
im getting more and more doubts everyday if i shouldn't just try other software. im getting used to the whole UI and the way of working with all the tools, but im encountering (serious) bugs everyday. i just spent like 30/40 minutes on a simple, smooth 2d animation with some warps/transforms, and got a perfect feeling about it. i now reopened it and the animation is clearly different, like something weird happened with the gridwarp. flickering frames after a 3d renderer even though i have it on software instead of opengl (though i really, really want to use opengl)
if things like these happen just once in a while, ok. but it feels like its happening everyday. and not just on one system. i just dont want to invest much more time in solving these problems because yeah, i got deadlines too. feels like im a little whiny but i think not completely without a reason
