"JOHN CARSTARPHEN: Hi. This is John Carstarphen for Expert Village. Another thing I'd like to point out about the animation palette is that at the bottom, you'll notice that there are two lines that represent the audio. Whenever you add audio to Poser, these automatically are generated. One is the sound range and that represents the range of the file, the sound file itself. The bottom line is the play range and that represents where you want the sound to start and end. So if you want the beginning of the sound to start at, let's say frame 20, then you would move the sound range to 20 because that's the beginning of the audio, and then you would move the play range to 20 as well because that's where you want the audio to begin. Okay, so let's--we're going to move these back, start both at the beginning, we will delete all of these key frames, take the slider bar back. Now let's just add some key frames manually to this figure."
