Thanks very much to you both for the helpful suggestions. I misspoke ... although the file I was using was created from a .bvh file, it's been Poser-ized as a .pz2, so there is no scaling option ... the animation simply loads. However, I've seen this same problem with actual .bvh files. The fixes you suggest would work with this file anyway. I'll give it my best shot today. I'm saving the .gif, L_D. Thanks again!
