If you are just learning animation, you might want to set all the frames to linear interpolation (orange), which produces straight-line movement between keyframes. Spline interpolation (green) produces curves, which can be more life-like, but affect positions before and after a keyframe in ways that can be difficult to predict and control. Also: I usually render animations as a series of still frames instead of as one big movie, then assemble them in a video application. There are some good low-cost ones available. It also lets you combine shorter shots of your scene taken from different camera angles and distances, which will give you a more professional-looking movie. By rendering as still images, you don't lose all your rendering work and time, if the movie doesn't completely render. You can also use the saved frames later in other ways. Don't get discouraged - you can get good results from Poser animation - Elisa/gryffnn
