Help with animations for filming...

[lianna Garnet]

I'm not sure if this has already been covered, but so far I haven't been able to find any answers so I was hoping that someone here could lend some advice.

I'm capturing video, and for the captures I'm hiding the HUD and UI.  Problem is, I have certain animations (copy-protected) that need to be started./stopped while recording, and with the UI hidden I can't do either.  I was hoping to assign hotkeys to the various anims, but it's my understanding that CP'ed anims can't be used in gestures.

Anyone know how I can start/stop these anims by hotkey?  I'd really appreciate any help that could be offered.

thanx

You can create Macros that work as key binds and you can also activate them by voice levels. 

See: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Gestures-emotes-and-animation/ta-p/700069 for more information.

Personally, I try to simplify this by either having someone else shoot/pose or I open another browser window and shoot with one while I activate animations on the other.
