 Hi!

 I have an animation where M4 is holding a figure (video camera). I want to be able to load the video camera, and have it be automatically in M4's right hand and be parented to it, so it follows the animation of his hand.

 I've edited in "smartparent rHand" to the video camera .cr2, which does parent it, but the camera loads way off target, not in M4's hand.

 I tried positioning the camera figure (unparented) into place in his hand, and then parenting it to his hand, and then saving that .cr2. But when I reload that new .cr2 from the library, it's not in place and not parented.

 It's too late to make it a prop instead of a figure. I've already created many poses and animations with it as a figure.

 Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
