Jonathan, Use the Tension, Continuity & Bias settings to control when your movement starts. Defaults are to make these motions occur in a curve around the point/frame you select. Change as needed to go THROUGH the point. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Kevin's got the answer for you. Check out the description under Tens/Cont/Bias on page 8-36 of the Ref. Manual (specifically the "Important" note and the examples). There's also a demonstration of this in one of the Keyframer tutorials — tho I can't recall which one. – Jack

Jon, I've run into this prob, I hope my answer helps. I think the other answers aren't quite correct. I don't think your prob is tension, etc. For example, let's say you go to frame 10, to start moving your snowman arm. At frame 20, the hat starts to move (if that's what you want). However, when you run your flic, the hat starts to move right away. Is that about right? If that's the case, what needs to be done is to click on "track info", and find "hat", copy the "all tracks" keys for position, etc. for frame 0, and slide them to frame 20. That keeps the hat at that position until frame 20, then will move. Hope I've helped. Kev. If not, give me a call.

Hi Jonathan, << don't move yet.. >> Kevin and Kevin are both correct and you must take both suggestions into account. You *do* want to copy a track info key for position/rotation/scale etc. if you want to lock it into position. However, you also need to adjust the TCB so it doesn't drift in place. jonas[adesk]
