poses (key frames) between the start pose and
the end pose, intermediary poses will be
automatically filled in to create one motion.

channel at which you want to
create a pose.
The Current Bar will move, and the frame
at the current position will be selected.
2 From the menu, choose Edit
Motion - Change To Key Frame.
A key frame is created.
3 Edit the pose.
If you double-click the key frame that you
created, the Pose Window appears. For
details on editing a pose, see “Editing
Poses.” (page 85)

to create key frames.

If you click Replay button , the
Preview Window will appear and the
motion will be replayed.
