Quite new to Poser but I have made some reasonable anims for SL be it not quite at a pro standard.
All of my poses start at the "T" pose, as you do, but for a stand that has arms at the side at what frame do I drop arms down?
Seems all my poses when run together flap arms back up before going to the next stand. Is this just an ease in setting that should be higher?
I was thinking maybe "T" pose on frame 1 then drop the arms in frame 2, go to say 30 for for the final stand then tweak frames from 2 to 30 ? That make sence?
Man standing with hands in his pockets, that is what I am aiming for.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

If you are going to animate the arms, you need to move all the joints involved at least a few degrees on Frame 2 - otherwise they will be ignored when you upload to SL and the default animations will control the arm positions.
So yes - start at Frame 2.
If you just want a static pose, you can end at Frame 2.
If you are moving your figure about a bit, then think of the timing you want and select the key frames to make accordingly.
Make sure your last Frame pose is the same as Frame 2 if you are going to loop the whole animation.
Also - Break Spline on Frame 2.

That really helps, many thanks.
Just one thing, I cannot find how to activate the control for break splines?
