Posts: 661 		Hello there
On my old (XP) machine I used to be able to get a character to hold their pose by hitting the spacebar (and stopping recording) when they were in the pose i wanted and then recording again until I wanted a different pose.
I know other people have achieved this by selecting an "idle" pose rather than stopping the recording and then moving the "clips" on the timeline.
However on my new (W7) machine (and I don't know whether this is relevant) I cannot get either solution to work anymore. In both situations the character fails to hold their pose.
Am I doing something wrong or has any else experienced this with W7?
Thank you.
