1 Is there anyway to save a two figure interactive pose of 25 frames to the library?

2 Is there anyway to add frames to the beginning of an animation like you do at the end?

3 How do you get such polished endings in animation? See URL even though I have more to do and frames to add yet, I would like to now how do you end an animation without it out looking so jumpy?

Thank you for any and all help. :-)

I can't find animation in the forum list ....

1) I don't believe so. I think it's just one pose per figure. You'd need to save separately for each figure. Maybe it'd work if one figure were parented to another, as it does for props ....

2) First, increase the total number of frames. Then, in the animation palette, draw a selection box around all the existing keyframes and drag them to the end of the timeline.

3) That depends upon what you mean by a polished ending. Are you talking about transitions like fade-to-black, or creating a looping video?

1. ditto what LD said, works perfectly. 3) you can perform post-processing on video. WIN: After Effects, Combustion; Mac: After Effects, Final Cut (Express) and there are other less expensive programs than these, also. I use After Effects. ::::: Opera :::::

Thanks LD for that link. I did very little animation in the past but was excited to try again with this new Poser Physics. Will try parenting and see what happens when I save. So you can add frames then move them. So glad to know that I though I would have to throw out and start all over. By polished I mean the ending pops back to the beginning with a jerk. Perhaps it is my player or my lack of expertise? I will look throught the Animation forum link and see if I get an idea of what I am doing wrong. Thank you both for your help!

By polished I mean the ending pops back to the beginning with a jerk.

All right. Then what you want is a loopable animation. Poser can do this for you automatically, though it might require some tweaking, depending upon where everything ended up at your final keyframe.

Add a few frames (perhaps five or six) at the end of your animation. Then enable loop interpolation.

Animation menu --> Loop Interpolation

Poser will use those extra frames to move everything back to its starting point.

Or you can do like I do and copy everything from the first frame to the last frame in the animation palette and Whalla the figure ends up where they started!

Just a little minor tweakings, as you said, and my ending looks finished not jerky. Thanks LD. :-)

Sorry Mizrael I missed your response before. That is a good idea too, thank you.
