Each to his own I guess and yes the one annoying thing about Carrara is that characters cannot be anchored to the floor as in poser though using target helpers sort of solves that. Regarding the default 1 second, I feel the opposite . In Carrara,as you say, it is simple to change and fast. Also don't forget the two buttons - zoom to selection and zoom to playback time.I think Carraras keyframing is great -presume you have V8 or 8.5 which have extra functions. Well yes we could go on forever swapping ideas. If you feel disposed to do that you can join up with the 'CarraTors Forum' which is devoted to animation with Carrara - The forum is organised into topics such as Learning and Skill Building and many others but you need to sign up to get access to all topics. http://www.bond3d.byethost18.com/ cheers Oh ! you should be able to export BVH in Poser 10 - go to file/export and save as bvh.
