hi, I'm running PoserPro 2014, and the layers behave as they should.

In the Layers tab, you've got Current Layers Only, Include In Playback and a Composite Method to choose (all at the left side of the panel), having some of those (un)checked might affect what you're seeing in the preview.

You can also set the start and stop frames for the selected layer, but these are affected as well by any keyframes - as seen in the Keyframes tab. That is: when the start is set to 10, and I add a keyframe at 5, then the start changes to 5. And I cannot move past the limits of the Base Layer. In other words: if something weird is going on, checking the keyframes might reveal a solution.

I'm far from experienced in this, but perhaps the two of us can see more than one alone.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
