Thanks for the response! The way you just explained it made a whole lot more sense than what the P5 manual says! As for spline being nonintuitive, I've seen many examples of that already(and just didn't know it). For instance, in a test animation that I did yesterday, while S3 was singing her eyes complete a blink but then they open up wide to the point that it looks quite grotesque! While I've accepted the fact that keyframe editing IS a major part of animating, little things like "bugeye blinks" and "auctioneer lip rattling" can drive a person nuts! Thanks again for the info! This knowledge will come in quite handy. Lee
