I copy and pasted keyframes from segments to make a single 8,000 frame animation so I could do a long tracking shot with the camera, but couldn't get a graph to display. Instead of a popup window, a blank space appeared in the top half of the main window. Is this a known bug/limitation?

Not really sure what you are asking. I do not do animations, but pallet does let me go to 8000

When you double click on a cell in the animation palette the Graph window is supposed to pop up but doesn't with my 8,000 frame animation. Instead, the top half of the main window just becomes an empty white box. It worked fine with a 4,000 frame animation so I'm wondering if the Graph display has a frame limit built in.

OK, if you will guide me :D Like I said I do not do animations often

Thanks for the reply. So it seems the problem is not related to the length of the animation. Maybe it has to do with the amount of keyframe data overall? In your test there are no keyframes but in my animation there are hundreds for each parameter, probably thousands altogether, although only seven for the camera.

Well, I am not going to set up that much, but I think it is not length.
Could it be a memory problem or lack of memory?

When the animation is done rendering in another 12 hours I'll try to figure this out. In the "resample key frames" window there's an option to fill keyframes every X frames, for the selected parameter or all parameters for the object. I'll see if I can reproduce the problem that way. I suppose it could be a memory issue, although I have 16GB on my 2013 MacBook Pro and the Poser file isn't huge (the .pz3 is 29MB and the .pmd is 59MB).

Ok, sorry I could not help more
Just for info, my system is a win7 pro, 48 gig memory, two X5670 hex core cpus, running latest P11.2 so there may be some differences between MAC and WIN versions

Update: After the render finished I was having the same problem with other files so I deleted the Poser Prefs and the problem went away.
