I need some major help! I read the User's Manual and I still don't know where to start! All I want to do is create a movie that zooms in on the face of a character I made. The things I don't know about are: 1) Create each frame---I know, that's the main part of the whole thing... 2) Do you have to render each individual frame? I had acutally made a short movie a long time ago, and somehow forgot how I did it! sigh Any help would be very useful! Thank you!

Poser uses key-frames, so to animate the camera movement would be very simple. Start at frame 1, position the camera where you want the zoom to start. Then go to the last frame and position your camera at the end of the zoom (the more frames you include, the "slower" the zoom will be). By default, all cameras are animated, so your camera will move and zoom when you make your movie. Yes, you will have to render every single frame, and you'll want to adjust the settings to get the desired outcome. By default, Poser will render movies using "display settings" and not "render settings" so your transmaps and such will not show correctly.

Oh wow. Thank you for telling me! I never knew about the transmap situation before!! You've been very helpful!!! Thanks again! :o) '~~Ri~~'

Also, there is a little key-thingie control. Red means "do not animate camera", white means "animate camera"... See p. 239 in the manual. It sounds like you DO want to animate the camera.
