Hi It sounds like you are still having an interpolation problem. Here's what I do with a new animation..... Set up the character the way you want at say frame 5... move to say frame 20 and click the Figure square to select all of the figure body parts and props then click the "+" to create keyframes for all the body parts and props. If are using spline interpolation (green keyframes) change them to linear (brown keyframes). Even using linear you sometimes need to add additional keyframes to control the character. If you have additional keyframes past frame 20 this will not work. You will need to click the Figure square of frame 5 to select all of the body parts and props, then copy and paste the keyframes at frame 20. To do this you need to select all of the body parts and props like you did at frame 5 or you will only set a keyframe for the body parts and props you have selected. The thing to remember is every parameter of every body part and prop can be animated......so if you don't want something to move you need to set a keyframe for that item. Hope this helps some and I haven't totally confused you. Ed
