well how about that.. I had to shut down poser 2012 and restart it and there we go.. looks like all the tutes and samplers I've seen elsewhere.. I think I ended up with that no numbers problem by accidently deleting a bunch of munged up frames and starting over again by adding 120 frames.. I guess the palettes don't like that..

Now, onward and forward with some learnin'..

A long time ago I used to work with an anim software (on the Amiga) that had a neat feature called "ping pong".. You would set your pose as you wanted it at the first frame and copied it to the last frame.. no matter what you did in between, it would 'tween from the first to the last frame.. excellent for those repetitive clips like somone bouncing a ball, tapping on a door and doing something extra in the middle of it all.. can poser also do something like that?
