Lets say you have a 10 frame anim and you want the camera to be stationary at position 100,100,100 but every time you put it there it moves back to 0,0,0 no matter what you do (which is pretty common!)….so go to the ACTION editor, and set the POSITION bar for the actor CAMERA so that it is only 1 frame long; frame one only. (the actor bar should cover all 10 frames, however, if you don't want him to dis-appear!). When you INFO the POSITION bar that is one frame long there are the END FRAME VALUES in the requester; set them to 100,100,100 and then go back to the stage editor. You should be all set! This problem occurs when you start moving the camera after you have set up most of your anim; somehow I encounter it a lot, and it is _really_ annoying, but before I bitch-and-moan about it I have to figure out why it does this; maybe there is some other reason (that I have not yet figured out) that it does this and when I need it I will be glad, but it was frustrating the first couple of times I had to deal with it! -Scott
