I've been having troubles with importing AVI footage into Poser 6.  I am rendering animated Terragen footage, then bringing that footage into Poser so I can sync camera movements with Poser characters (thus bringing Poser into realistic landscapes).  My problem is that at certain points in the animation, the background footage will simply freeze for about 2 frames before continuing.  It's very strange, and I've always had this problem with background footage in both P4 and now P6.  I have absolutely no clue what the problem could be.  The AVI background itself is rendered uncompressed at DV resolution (720x480), and the Poser window I work in is also 720x480 to ease the pain on camera sync.

If anyone has experienced this problem or can help me out, I would appreciate it a lot.  Thanks!

Could be a disagreement in frame rate.

An alternate method is to set up the background AVI

to a frame sequence, and use my Image Sequence

script to run it on Poser's background.

I checked out your script, though I'm a little confused as to how it works.  My background video is also saved as a series of BMP images (that's how I export), so I ran your script and took the first frame of the sequence under 'Get Background'.  I then clicked 'Make Animation', though it only rendered the first frame of animation.

If I want to, say, render a 180 frame animation with 180 background images (as opposed to an AVI), how would I go about doing that?

Thanks!
