guitar strum ani question

ok i have poser 5 and im making a guitar strum animation. I just want my avatar to be strumming the guitar in a loop so it just keeps on strumming till i change to the next ani. so i followed the tutorial and used the default pose for the first keyframe. i have 240 frames so i moved slider to scond frame and set the pose for the strumming. the reason i did this is the last ani i did had me coming up to the pose 30 frames in , so when it loops in game it goes back to arms resting at side then coming up so thats no good. so i set keyframe 2 as strumming pose to start ani so i would come back to this same pose it ended on in the loop. however when i play it back it does some weird wrapping the arm around the head type of motion then goes to the strumming animation.what am i doing wrong? Ive got a cool strumming animation i made, i just want it to loop the strumming pattern in game without it resetting to arms at side evry start of loop. please help.

What's happening is that Poser is interpolating the changes from the first frame to the second. To have it ignore the first frame when calculating changes, go Window->Animation Palette and set all the keyframes on the second frame to Break Spline.

thank you very very much. it waorks perfectly. is this only used on second frame?

Break Spline can be used on any frame, but will often result in an ugly animation, since without spline interpolation the movement looks stiff and mechanical.

i'm sorry, i know this is way late, but I have been looking and asking around for an animation just like this!...there are some that are close, but not quite what I need...any chance you are selling this....PLEASE!!!!! i would really love to buy one from you
