Thanks kindly for the reply. How do I save an animated pose? A quick explanation would be great. Also, I've discovered another workaround for copying blocks of keyframes: use the Retime Animation tool. Instead of using it to retime animation though, I just keep the same timing and slot it in where needed. So far, this seems to be the most reliable way for me but I'm keen to try out the Animated Pose method. Much appreciated, ALEX
