You can change your frame rate in Poser by opening up the timeline and clicking on the downward pointing arrow on the upper left corner next to the word "Rate." That will slow your animation down. Next, you need to go to "Retime Animation" under the Animation menu. You're going to have to do a little math here. You're going to have to convert the number of frames the original 30 fps animation used into an equivalent number of frames at 12 fps. --For example, if the 30 fps animation was 10 seconds long, it used 300 frames (frames 1 through 300). An equivalent 10 second animation at 12 fps would use 120 frames (frames 1 through 120) To retime this, you'd enter 1 and 300 into the "Start" and "End" frames (respectively) of the "Source Frames" (in the Retime Animation dialog). You'd enter 1 and 120 into the "Start" and "End" frames (respectively) of the "Destination Frames" Click OK and Poser will squeeze all the keyframes that were in frames 1 through 300 (the Sourcce Frames) into frames 1 through 120 (the Destination Frames). Voila! you have a 10 second animation again. I don't know what version of Poser you're using but this can be found under "Retime Keyframes," p.223 of the Poser 4 manual. FWIW, although the frame rate in Flash can be changed, 12 fps is optimal for smooth playback across the broadest spectrum of machines. Bobasaur (I was 7 of 12)
