Mixer not updating during playback

Mixer not updating during playback

I had the same issue, are your "layered" clips for the face in the same
mixer where
you are blocking your animation?

if so, just put your face controls and all that in another model.
for the character in question i had a model for body and face animation
and a model for the face poses.

In xsi 3.5 even tough was evaluating cycles, it still worked and it
rendered fine
it was until v4 i noticed this behavior.
