hmmmm....I've only looked in the storyboard room 1 time. I have to say it started with that stupid owl LOL. After that ALL poser items came in as .AVI ~whimpers~ In fact, heres a good one, I tried importing a static building(bakery by Richarbi) animated unchecked....the building imported but all it's insides popped out LOL(avi here again)...next try...imported with animation checked off and the bakery came in in tact(but still .avi) Is there something down in the sequencer area I should look at....? I tried deleted key frames but nothing happened. I really hate it when I've gone & done something stupid like this & can't figure it out. I was at the computer till late last night...staring at kinds of different things, just couldn't see it. Guess I better jump to the animation chapter & see what's up. Thanks again for bearing with my noobness :)
