I purchased Carrara with the hopes of creating animations in Poser (using Mimic) and importing them into Carrara for rendering (because Carrara is so much faster then Poser). When I import a schene with 1300 frames, only 7 seconds appear on the Carrara time line. Is there a bug in Carrara that prevents importing Poser animations? Thanks in advance?

There is a 4-second limit on the trial version. Did you use the trial before purchasing? Maybe it thinks it is still the trial installation. ::::: Opera :::::

No, I didn't install a trial version. I'll check it out anyway. Thanks!

csbrown, Need specifics about what file format. transposer or native import etc. I believe you need a .cr2 or = with bones then import a .pz2 to apply to this.

change the total number of frames in your Carrara timeline to 1300 or whatever it was in the poser scene

Understand I know next to nothing about carrara timeline editor. I suspect everything being set to animate is also a problem. Got a few questions also. Why is it soooo slow and does it bring sound with it? If I import the wav file it doesn't match with the rest of it. In D|S it's done in a sec and plays quickly. I assume same for poser. I guess really I am asking is this really feasible to do?

Well, I got a mimic animation in, but no sound. So I added the wav file then rendered to quicktime .mov...no sound.I am going back to the manual. Any suggestions?
