Attachments are fixed in the forums now, so I was able to download your original video.

Am I correct in understanding that the problem is the character art blinks to the wrong pose before he walks off screen again? If so, is that "Standing Right" view (actually, I'm not sure which one is which, but the one where the character faces screen right) part of the Walk behavior? If so, I would remove it and have the three views like in Dave's video and then just trigger the other standing view as a completely separate action.

I just got a reply from you in another thread that I think you meant to post here. I watched your screen recording and I'm still unclear about the views that are flipping. Are all four views part of the walk cycle? If so, I recommend removing the one that's not necessary to the walk cycle and seeing what happens. If you want the character to look the other way then you can trigger it.

You might be best off changing the "Standing" view to be named "Frontal" and seeing if CH is recognizing the views as being tagged properly. Are "Right Profile," "Left Profile," and (if you rename it) "Frontal" all being tagged properly by the face icons in the "Tags" section of the "Properties" panel?

If low on storage, if a video, you can also upload to YouTube and make unlisted. I don't think that counts as Google Drive etc storage.

I have a workaround for the first direction change I'll keep fussing with it tonight, drive should be empty tomorrow. I want to get it uploaded to show how this looks, maybe help others.

I'm trying that but my drives full I'm deleting stuff like crazy but not getting anywhere. We'll get there, I hope. Optimistic it will be worth the wait

Sorry, I'm trying to find a better way. Maybe the file was too large or maybe we can't post video. The video would be the best way to explain how the position cycle works, in my case anyway. I'll keep trying.

I think "attachments" in the forums are broken. I have not had any of them work recently. If you load to Google Drive or Dropbox etc, include a URL directly in the post instead. That seems to work...

I'm unable to download your attachment. Could you describe the problem a bit and post screenshots? Or try another attachment?

The position-based walk cycle works very well and only requires two keyframes. What I don't love about it is that there's no smooth transition from walking to stopping. The legs just jump into the stopping position. You can tweak the settings a bunch to make this less noticeable, but I've done it purely through experimentation, and with mixed results.

I'm obviously in a confused mode. I'm whining on the beta feedback with Jeff A not sure if he's got my uploads and he's looking for videos on this forum that I posted on the 27th. Hopefully, you guys can put them all together and come up with something. I pared it down to the bare necessities and nothing works like I'd like to have it anyway.
