Hi all, I just start to play with the movie stuff in poser (4and 5) and got this problem: The animation is 200 frames lenghts. During the first halt, the guy is walking and at frame 100, he start speaking. I obtain some strange things with the head (total deformation). I fix it adding "Break Splin" at frame #1 and #100 but now he still "talking and walk blind" after frame #1. What is wrong ? here the shot Thanks Laurent

It's the spline interpolation that's giving you the problems. Using a spline break like you did created a spline that runs from frame 1 to 100. You need to add some keyframes between 1 and 100 to control the spline. Open the graph editor and look at the head twist, bend and side to side parameters.. You'll need to add keyframes where the movements get all messed up and move them back into line. If it were me I would change the interpolation to linear and you problably won't have much trouble. Hope this helps some Ed
