Hi ended up complicating an animation so much that I am better off deleting all existing animation. How can I do that? JDL

I use "edit keyframes." The key in the bottom right corner. You can delete specific frames for each item in your scene, or nuke everything. Just drag your mouse over what you want removed, and hit the delete key.

Thank you Randy :) This really helped big time. One more question... I selected a keyframe I wanted to delete (Left Shoulder), but when I hit delete, it deleted the whole figure! :( Why is that? I know this keyframe refered to the Left Shoulder, but wasn't just a "keyframe" that I was deleting? Anyway, could you please enlighten me here? ;) JDL

Were you in the animation menu? Hitting delete in the Pose Room will delete the active figure or prop.

If you don't have anything selected in the keyframe editor, hitting delete will delete the active figure. (It should ask for confirmation first.)

Make sure you have some keyframes selected. When keyframes are selected, they are outlined in white.

I am totally in the Keyframes window. It was opened with the Key icon you told me. What's weird is that after reading your messages I went back and selected a keyframe and it deleted successfully. However, the next ones I tried kept poping up that window warning me that it would also delete the figure, although I was doing nothing different (that I could tell), just selecting the freakin keyframe (which would turn white as you said). I noticed when I select a camera keyframe, and hit delete, nothing hapens, I am not even asked nor warned about anything. If it would help, I could put a screenshot for you. JDL

Hmm. I've never had that problem.

The only thing I can suggest is saving your work and restarting Poser. Sometimes it gets a little wonky if you've been using it awhile. Restarting Poser will clear the memory; that will often fix odd problems.

I found the way! I still had to click on the triangles on the left of each name, like Left Shoulder. If you click it open it reveals more keyframes, that ARE deletable. Same thing for the cameras. Thank you so much for your patience and information Randy :) JDL

if you dont care for any of the animation, but want to keep the 1st frame (which i often leave unchanged) you can goto frame 1, then set the maximum frames to 1, thus deleting ALL the info, except for frame 1, then just set frames back to w/e

There's also a keyframe delete icon on the animation toolbar. It only deletes keyframes.

Before they made me they broke the mold!
