| Q: Why can't I publish videos anymore? |
| A: Due to server limitations, we had to cancel video sharing... We are not YouTube... Also all video publications have been erased. |
|
Q: Jan 15 2024, My account disappeared !!! |
| A: We had a critical issue with the site. We had to erase all publications and accounts and restart the site from scratch. We feel very sorry about that. Please be aware that we have now server storage limitations, see rules |
|
Q: What happens with PhotoAnim for Windows ? |
| A: Photoanim is not maintained any more. You may still use it but documentation and web site are no more available. |
|
Q: When I publish an animation, the thumbnail is blank or black. |
| A: This is a browser or graphic card bug which remains a mystery... It sometimes happens with Chrome under Windows 10, but we found no way to reproduce it. Anyway, the webmaster will fix the thumbnail for you, but please be aware that if this happens, then you certainly will not be able to convert your animation to video or GIF... Your only choice is then to switch to Firefox or Edge. |
|
Q: I'm on IPhone/iPad/Mac and I can't record sound with the Avatar app |
| A: This comes from Apple... They don't allow camera sound recording from browser. |
|
Q: How can I save my animations? |
|
A: Play your published animation. On the player page, below the
screen, hit "VIDEO". This will bring you to the video converter page.
Preview and adjust your animation and hit "Convert to video" to produce
a downloadable mp4 video. Cost is 1 token, with token price as low as 30
cents. Morphing, Live Selfie, iVideo and Photocube can also be saved for free as an animated GIF, just hit "TO GIF" on the player page. 3D animations may be saved as OBJ or STL files, just hit "DOWNLOAD" on the player page. |
|
Q: Why do I have to pay for videos? Most sites do it for free! |
| A: Maintaining a site costs money: server costs, yearly SSL certificate... We ask you a small participation to cover our expenses. We don't expect to make money with this site! Also, unlike most other "free" sites, we don't display any ad... |
|
Q: How can I buy additional tokens for video conversion? |
|
A: Go to your settings page (MYPOSTS -> SETTINGS), and press "BUY
TOKENS NOW". We use PayPal for secure transaction. Please note that cookies must be enabled, otherwise transaction will fail. Also, make sure that PayPal returns to 3Dthis after purchase. |

Q: Why is my post moved to unlisted? |

|
Q: I published many public animations and I see only 2 in the overview page |
