Custom Chars not in cinematics

Has anyone else seen that where you replace the skins/models in a game and run an cinematic, that you don't have the skin/model that you chose but when you turn cinematic mode off, you get the skin/model that you chose for that character?

Just curious as my skins/models don't show in cinematic mode but do in regular game play. Sort of takes away from the effect that I was hoping for.

Or am I just not doing something right while in cinematic mode?

thanks

I have a map where a skin is replaced and cinematic mode shows the unit with the correct skin. i didnt do anything to make this work, so your problem is probably something different that you changed.

It may be because you play the game with medium options. When you watch a cinematic it bumps them to hiquality so it uses the hiqualty model and skin which are overwrriten by the medium quality ones your currently using.
