Hi Aardvark,

 

You're right, thank you. If you would not of posted this, I would've thought it couldn't be done. I viewed this video tutorial:

 

background image

 

It shows you how to load an image for modeling. Through the UV Editor.

 

You can load a sequence or movie, right from the properties panel.

 

After you put a tick in the checkbox of the background image, (in the properties panel.) There is a little drop-down arrow on the left. Click on that and you'll see a button saying (Add Image).

 

 

Click on that, and you'll see, (Not Set) and (Axis).

Then to the left Not Set, there is a drop-down arrow. Click on that, and a (Open) button will appear.

 

 

Click on that, and navigate to your sequence file or movie file. Make your selection, then you will see a whole new set of options.

 

 

Now you will notice, were Not Set was. You will now see the name of your movie sequence file.

To the right of Axis, there is a drop-down box of all views.

Make your selection. "For a sequence or a movie, I put mine in camera view."

Then I go to the camera view, Numpad 0. And there it is.

 

 

I'm not sure what all the other options are, but this is workable. All I do now is,ajust the frames in the timeline.

And playback the movie. (Alt+A)

 

Does anybody else have a hard time loading .avi?

                                                                                                                                                     

I have that Oragin button also. I just like the idea of being able to name it whatever you like. I really hope they bring Add Tool back.

You can personalize your interface more.

 

That search box feature is neat. I could see using that from time to time.
