hypnagogic

David - Thank you very much for your offers to help. I have solved the problem, although I do not understand still, how or why the problem arose. But I want to leave a brief description for anyone else who runs into this issue. If others with more experience would like to hypothesize why the problem arose, I'd love to hear your thoughts, because I am stumped. When I created a second character in the project, and exported, the second character was rendered normally. So I knew the problem wasn't the camera. It was the Character. When I copied all of the keyframes from the first character to the second character, the second character disappeared. Aha! There is something in the keyframes. So I began copying keyframes, one element at a time (e.g. first the right arm, then the left arm) and exported in between each copy. When I copied over the main keyframes (Human), he vanished. So I simply took the time to rebuild those 12 or 13 keyframes by hand and considered the issue done. I have wrestled with this for a couple weeks and don't wish to invest any more time in it. Believe me when I tell you I checked EVERY possible manner by which you could make a character disappear (alpha). I could not get that first character back into the render. Thanks everyone for your help. I hope my description can help someone.

I'd be happy to. Please tell me how I can best deliver it to you.

Using Mine-imator 1.0.5 I am unable to export my project correctly. I was using 1.0.3 until today. I updated to 1.0.5 and the result is the same. I have been having this problem consistently for about a week now. When I export, I get a blank view. Steve has been moved from origin. And I have positioned a camera facing him. The camera is in the timeline. I have added additional cameras to the project. I can verify that the timeline is able to switch view from one camera to the other, using "visible" toggle in camera settings. I watch my project in the work camera-split screen. It looks great! When I send it to export, it just shows me the view from (I assume) origin. No steve. No switching cameras. Nothing. WHY?!??!?!?!? I am happy to provide any settings, if you tell me which settings are most relevant to this discussion. I am an elementary school teacher working with a very excited 4th grader on his animation project. But his frustration is mounting. Your help is GREATLY appreciated.
