Only occurs on Mac
When clicking on the Notify Track in a Montage or in an Animation Sequence a bar shows up where you can name the new notify and after hitting enter it adds it to the Notify Track. The bar in which one would name the notify is not showing up at all.
Steps to Reproduce
Create new project using the Third Person Template
Open an animation sequence or create a montage
Go to Notify Track
Click to Add Notify
Select New Notify
Result: No notify appears when New Notify is selected
Expected: A bar appears where you can name your notify and hit enter to add it to the Notify Track
HEY FELLOW MAC USERS, AS I JUST POSTED THIS QUESTION. THEN I FOUND A FIX THAT IS ON THIS SITE
To save you time here you go. UE4 DEVELOPERS NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO US MAC USERS TOO…
- Make sure that unreal is not the foremost window.
- Open another program, eg. Finder or something else.
- Resize the foremost window until you can see the notify tracks.
- Click the left mouse button and add new notify.
Old workarounds:
A. I found a weird work around to be able to get it to work. I downloaded Licecap to record the bug in a .gif and when recording I am able to add a notify now. It must have something to do with the screen focus of the screen recording.
It’s not pretty but it works
B. It also works with Quicktime 10 actually. Open Quicktime 10.
- Open Quicktime 10
- Start a screen recording
- right click on the notify timeline, add an anim notify
- The pupup box for the name will show
- Name your anim press enter
- Done, exit the screen recording
ANOTHER APPROACH
Oh! I found that there is no need for screen recording at all. Just make sure that unreal is not the foremost window. Just open the Finder or sth else. Resize the foremost window until you can see the notify tracks. And then just click the LMB(don’t click the RMB, it will make the window foremost). and add new notify. Hope engine staff will fix this bug. Sorry, my English is very bad. Hope not offend anyone. Hope my description is clear enough
