I've already animated a fari amount of things in Poser, and yes true animation takes a very long time, but Poser is unique in that it has pre-made, pre rigged models (sorry, just don't like calling them dolls) and so in theory, it is as easy as starting a pose or camera at one position and then moving down the time line and repositioning the pose or camera. That's also what's frustating about it, because it doesn't seem to work that well, probably because there is something I am doing wrong, or how I'm setting things up etc.

I've worked with key-frames in tons of other programs, not animation, but music, sound, and video and this just seems buggy. And, although I appreciate your input, I am not going about it wrong. Beating your head against a wall is not the best way to learn. I learn best from watching someone do something and then repeating it, and since there isn't much online for me to do that, hiring someone to show me a few things is the most intelligent thing to do.

I will say that is may be in the wrong section however. I saw a section for posting job types of things. Perhaps I'll try that.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my post. I appreciate it. Cheers...Ian
