oliver, yes, you can use Poser4 to make your own animaiton for SL.
Make sure you've done the followings. 1. Did you use the proper figure? 2. Did you make your animation's first frame the standard T-Pose? c.f. Cristiano Midnight's comment. Hope this helps you. _____________________

According to Xenon Linden's note...
The Folder "SL Avatar" contains two custom Poser 4/5 figures, "SL_Female" and "SL_Male." These characters match the base Second Life female and male meshes (prior to any morphs applied). They also contain matching texture UVs and bone/joint orientations. Using these custom figures rather than the standard figures supplied with Poser should result in more accurate animations uploaded into Second Life. The proportions of these figures can be further modified within Poser to create accurate animations for specific SL characters. The mesh on each of the Poser models is divided into 3 material groups matching the SL avatar head, upperbody, and lowerbody textures. These groups allow clothing, skin, and tattoo textures to be previewed on the character within Poser as opposed to requiring logging in to Second Life. To add the Poser figures to your Poser Library: 1. Navigate to the install location of your Poser app. and open the 'character' folder of your Poser library. (For example, ...¥Poser 5¥Runtime¥libraries¥character) 2. Copy the 'SL Avatar' folder and its contents into the character folder. 3. Start Poser and clear the work space. 4. Open the Poser library and click the 'Figures' button to reveal the character folder categories. Open the "SL Avatar" folder to find 2 new characters, "SL_Female" and "SL_Male". Double click the icon to add it to your scene. NOTE TO POSER 4 USERS: The icon in the library will appear as a generic figure shrugging his shoulders. There may be a couple warning messages about the version number of the character but click through these and the character will be added to your scene. You can then click on the '+' button in the library to create an identical character that will have a new icon and will open without any warning messages. 5. If you want to make this character your default startup Poser character open the 'Edit/General Prefs.' menu, set the Document Preference to 'Launch to Preferred State', and press the 'Set Preferred State' button. Now each time you launch Poser it will load the SL mannequin automatically as its default figure. _____________________

okay after having the same problem as the other fellow i decided to look at the file extenions of the s/l model and noticed that its said sl_male file type obj
so i cleared my workspace which took me 15 min to figure out because every new starts with a preloaded modle so i right clicked then hit delete which cleard the work space still trying to figure this whole thing out so in order to get your s/l model into poser 4 go to file then import then wavefront obj then find your s/l model and click oky a box will pop up only thing to do hre is to make sure centered,place on floor,percent of figure size, and make pologones consistant are all checked dont mess with anything else i didnt so i dont recommend that you do and presto one s/l modle apperas in your work space i dont know how to save this guy to the libary yet because theres no plus sign that shows up to add him yet so when i figure it out i will be sure to post now to play with it and figure out how to load it up into second life more to follow Mavrick Cannoli |

I found your answer. According to Phaedrus Kuroda, you seem to have to upgrade your Poser to 4.0.3 above. See this thread. Did you do this?
