Hi. I just made an animation of a guy falling and then getting back up. Unfortunately, dopey-me didn't pay any attention to the frames, so while the animation looks cool while it runs in Poser, it's only about 44 frames, so it runs about 1.2 seconds in real time, instead of the 6 seconds I had envisioned. My question is, how can I(or CAN I) stretch the animation? The manual doesn't seem to offer a way. EXPAND(I think) was the only option. I can add frames, but when I tried to move my keyframes and then played the animation, instead of falling and getting up, the figure twisted himself, in quite amusing, but impossible ways. Hope someone can help. Thanks, 'Wolf

I would advise: 1)Increase total frames to desired length ie 180 frames 2)Select the BODY of the figure 3)Use the :Animation/Retime Animation" menu command, then fill in the source * destination frame length numbers you want ie 1 to 44 & 1 to 180 to increase anim time, You may want to pan the camera or change the camera angle or something to avoid becoming slow motion, unless thats what you wanted
