I'm new to Poser, so perfectly willing to admit that maybe I'm screwing something up ... I've got Poser 5 SR3, and I've created an animation sequence that has Vicky3 moving between 3 standing poses. Testing the animation within Poser (by pressing play) works fine. I can move to any of the frames and render it fine. I can render an animation in sketch mode, or as a sequence of still images, and the resulting AVI is fine. However, if I just try to generate a rendered movie, I get nothing: Poser takes all the time generating frames that I'd expect (about the same as rendering the sequence of stills), but only generates a tiny AVI file which has nothing but the background color! The file does "play" and seems to be the right length, it's just missing the figure. Doesn't seem to matter which codec I use, I've tried everything from Cinepak to Indeo to DivX to uncompressed and they all have the same result. Any ideas?!? Maybe I've screwed this up, but I can't figure why still images or sketch rendering would work fine but movie rendering doesn't.
