Thanks, everyone, for the responses.  I am glad to hear that Daz may be working on this issue, but during the day today, my partner figured out how to do the work inside Carrara, bypassing Poser pretty much entierly.  There's a bunch of new work to do -- rebuilding some characters and such -- but it does move MUCH more quickly.

The only downside is that Carrara doesn't seem to preview in real time as Poser does, and I've gotten quite used to using Poser's real-time features to gauge the speed of animation -- how quickly should a hand turn in a gesture or that sort of thing.  It'll just be a bit of a learning curve and some trial and error.

But major kudos to Daz for getting the integration with Carrara and Daz content so nice.  It's quite impressive.  I haven't tried the non-linear editor or, in fact, many of the new features of C6P and am looking forward to getting some play time in with the software. 

Thanks again -- great forum here!
