Render a sequence of stills out of Poser - uncompressed ones like .tif or .bmp. Pinnicle should be able to import a still sequence. If it can't there are other free or cheap video programs that can do it and convert the files into a movie format Pinnacle can work with. Check the Pinnacle manuals/help to see what formats it imports. Depending on your settings you may even render out stills with alpha channels for convenient compositing. You can render at any FPS you want, but 30 FPS is normal for anything that will be shown on TV in the US (and other NTSC countries. If you're just doing something for the web 12 or 15 FPS will work fine. 25 FPS is oriented toward PAL (certain non-North American countries including all of Europe TV) standards. When using BVH files I often have to move the "body" where I want it to be. I only have to do it on the first frame. I'm not sure the technical reason why they don't all line up with the center of the Poser Universe but it's a relatively simple fix. Don't forget to scale the BVH files when you import them (the dialog box gives you this option). I regularly import Poser scenes into Lightwave. The talking part works fine, like any other thing I animate. I must admit I have no idea why Max 7 could work with an animated arm but not an animated "open mouth" (or any of the other things that get animated when talking). Are you creating the Mimic file first and then doing the rest of the animation in Poser or is your workflow something else?

Before they made me they broke the mold!
