Saxon - I must be doing something wrong, since the dialogue box for "retiming" has not yielded any results. So I take the long way. 1 - Add more frames to the end of the project. What you described might take 3-5 seconds. (time yourself falling like this if it helps planning) 2. Open the Animation Palette. Grab your last keyframe and drag it to the end frame. Take the next to last and move up... then the next and so on. Each move with recalculate interpreted frames for you, which is wiser to start at the back end. Space these keyframe in proportion to the new length. (key frames were every 5th frame at one second, and now every 20th for four second animation) 3. Move these keyframes closer/further apart to make action faster or slower. Each move again re-interpolates the frames. 4. Stay with your plan/storyboard.
