No No NO! It's as simple as what I wrote. When you go to actually MAKE A MOVIE FILE, you tell Poser to start RENDERING the movie at whatever frame your clothroom drapping finished on. There is no deleting. Poser will create your AVI or MOV file from Frame 30 and that's when the sound will start. Period. End of story.

Unfortunately for speaking scenes in Poser, unless you have one long continuous WAV audio file and pose files for each character's portion of dialogue, you're better off doing cutaway scenes to each speaker. It's a HUGE amount of work by hand to edit the mimic files and break out each character's dialogue to separate pose files and then syncing them up to load at the proper frame. If you're willing to put in the work, it's doable, but it's work.
