Topic: Helium Frog Glitch?

Hi, kinda new here, so if I sound n00bish, I apologize. Please lead me in the right direction.

Anyways, I downloaded Monkeyjam and Helium Frog to test them out as stopmotion software for a film I want to do. So far, I favor Helium because it has onion-skinning. However, when I open a window like "Settings" or "Utilities" in Helium, and then I press Continue to exit the window, the window instead kinda freezes and positions itself behind the main Helium controls and refuses to close unless I Quit/close the entire program. In addition, the Live Camera Window freezes and the X button at the top-right blanks on me. Is there something I can do to fix it? Because it seems from Youtube, other users don't have this problem.

I use Windows 7 and I tried switching Compatibility to Windows XP and Vista via the program properties. Nothing worked.

And just two misc. P.S.'s I'd like to have cleared up real quick if you'd be so kind:
Does Pro 9000 have white balance control? Cuz I hear C910 doesn't. mini/sad
When I open up profile settings/posting boxes in this forum, the first and second text-enter lines are quashed together so that I can hardly see the first box line. Is that not supposed to happen?

Re: Helium Frog Glitch?

Helium frog has a lot of glitches abd bugs. I think it will be fixed in the next version, but I don't know when that will come out. The newest version of the C910 software have white balance control.

Does the new software come with the C910 if I get it from Logitech/some other buyer?
Sorry if that question's off-topic. Anybody else got any ideas concerning my original post?

Re: Helium Frog Glitch?

Your webcam software should update itself. The 9000 and the C910 use the same software, and the sofware for my 9000 got updated with the white balance control.

The squashed-box thing happens to me, too. It's just a little glitch that no one knows how it happened or how to fix it. Here's a tip: When one of the boxes gets blocked out, type really carefully.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Re: Helium Frog Glitch?

When I used the C910 i had to go to settings and click update software.

Re: Helium Frog Glitch?

If none of the above work...try reinstalling it. It would also help to have all programs except for Helium Frog.

I'm guessing this means I'm screwed with Helium Frog?

If that's the case, then is there any way to kinda replicate onionskinning in Monkeyjam or do I have to just get that Zen feel for stopmotion movement? Because onionskinning would really help me out with this project.

Re: Helium Frog Glitch?

Sorry...didn't mean to say that...meant to say that you should have all programs closed when using Helium Frog.

Oh. Right, well I tried that too and it still fails on me... Anyways, I emailed the Helium Frog maker with my question, but I have doubts over whether he's even developing the software anymore. So I'm still open to help if anybody can think of anything.

Re: Helium Frog Glitch?

Hope he is still working on that new version.
