Welcome
Right click at the set (or two-finger click on a mac) --------------------  |

QUOTE (peterj @ May 3 2012, 08:56 AM)  Hi Keith, thanks but still nothing. Cheers peterj Have you created a character yet? Go to the dressing room, (one of the buttons at the top) and create your character. To add a character to the set you need to be in Directors View, (Another of the buttons at the top). Hope that helps. That last is also where you will direct your characters to do stuff.  Set Workshop is just for adding and moving props. -------------------- Sango: "If it was really a miracle everyone would have been saved."

It is possible you might need to turn on right clicking for your mac mouse:
http://gigaom.com/apple/mac-101-enable-right-click-on-macs/ And to place a character on set you need to have been to the dressing room (to make a character), and to be in the directors view (third view button along the top). You would then select the character from the character tray (bottom left), if you have more than one character. And then right click on the floor, and select 'Place here' from the ring menu. -------------------- Ben Sanders

Right click on the sequence in the timeline and choose "Edit Sequence". Then you can add new dance moves. NB you can often stretch or shrink existing gesture bars by dragging the right hand side left or right. This extends the period but slows down or speeds up the actual animation.
