Animated people on treadmill

I placed several animated running people on treadmills. They look great in the working viewport. They’re all busy running in place. When I render a video they’re all frozen. I assume this is because they will only run if they are part of a character path. Maybe this is a wishlist item - The ability to enable animation for walking/running characters, even if they aren’t on a path.

If there is another way to have people running in place, please let me know.

Hello. Currently, in video rendering, you need to add keyframes to the characters to make them can walk or run in place.
I made video to show how to enable a character run in place. Hope this can help you. WeTransfer - Send Large Files & Share Photos Online - Up to 2GB Free

Ah yes. Keyframing! I keep forgetting about keyframing. That will do the trick. Simple and flexible. No need for a special feature.
