Your avi is not a pose file or a bvh file. When you import an avi it is used for the background picture. For Poser to use it you would need to recreate the animation in Poser.You can import your avi as a guide to posing your figure. Once you are finished animating the figure you can save the animation to the pose library or export a bvh. I would probably save it in both formats. Hope this helps you some Ed
