have you added any animations in the .air file with the correct group and image numbers?

Couldn't help but notice the title of the movie is "Fighter Factory Help"

So I take it you're using Fighter Factory.

Which is great... it's an awesome program, but on some computers (like mine) it has a NASTY habbit of completely corrupting a character's AIR file.

Here's an example of what I mean...
Let's take Sander's Wolverine... and look at his .air file before I open fighter factory... find his turning animation.

; Turning
 [Begin Action      5]
Clsn2default: 1
 Clsn2[0] = -23,-69, 30,  0
5,1, 0,0, 2
5,2, 0,0, 2
5,3, 0,0, 2
5,4, 0,0, 3
5,5, 0,0, 2

Everything is in order.  Now open up Wolverine in Fighter Factory and look what happens.


;
[Begin Action 1970544699]
Clsn2Default: 1
  Clsn2[0] = -23, -69, 30, 0
5,1, 0,0, 2
5,2, 0,0, 2
5,3, 0,0, 2
5,4, 0,0, 3
5,5, 0,0, 2

Everything is the same, except it completely changed the action number.  For some reason it changed 5 to 1970544699.  You don't even have to save the character... it just gets corrupted like this as soon as you open him.  (At least... on my computer with my version...)
It's not just this animation either... all over, he gets screwed up in different ways. 
This may be a problem with MCM as well... there's a program out there called AIR cleaner.exe... which is supposed to fix these problems... but I wouldn't count on it.
The fact is, just make a backup of every single character before you load them into fighter factory.  That way you can know for sure if that's what is going on. 
Check me out.

I realized it might actually be the pallete. I'm getting my cousin to look into it.
However, he's lazy as heck and he wants me to do a bunch of stuff for him before he considers it.

EDIT: Spelled pallete wrong.

Provided you have a pallete, even if its a shitty one, the character will still show up, although probably discoloured/a black box.

Sprites not showing at all means they're not 256 colours (ie no pallete) or you have no time for the frame to be displayed.

The best way to check this is to use the menu to "edit animation in text" if the last number on any of those lines is 0, then that's why it's invisible.

I wish FF would default that box to 1, it would prevent so many questions.

Yeah, those are required sprites. They aren't your problem right now. Although you'll need them later.

Have you correctly set up your animations? Can you see them in the .air? If you haven't done that you should probably do so.

Mugen does not magically know what your sprites do, you have to tell it.

Everything seems normal in the .air, the palette seems to be working perfectly.
You can use Fighter Factory to make palettes, right?
EDIT:
I think I have this problem: http://mugenguild.com/forumx/index.php?topic=67437.0
Only even when I upload a sprite and use the shared palettes option, the sprites still stay invisible.
