"I think part of the issue is using the Word SAVE. In Poser, you ADD Animations to your Pose Folder using the Plus Signs at the bottom of the Content Display." im dense not slow...i know the difference in this part above...lol ok got ya on the second part. thanks, i have been doing it wrong. though i did save the pose the way you said and its not saving the animation part even though it does have a 3 in the top right corner of the png file. i well figure it out some how...there has to be something i am doing wrong for the stupid thing not to want to save the animation correctly. my guess is im doing it wrong somewhere along the line. thanks all for you help bea
