Well, I got another problem in Moho.
Say you made a animation.. you start it, and there comes the problem.
It kinda makes all stuff in one time :? . I mean if i made this stick guy pulling his leg and after that i make him to move, he pulls in his leg and at the same time he moves.. Is there a way to fix it?? Noticed in other animation progs too.

PS: Im not using bones :P

You need to study key frames.

If you only have one key frame for each movement then... there is no pause... it doesn't stop. The computer doesn't know that you want to stop and hold for "9" frames... or "6" or "12".... before moving on... you have to tell it.

It moves from one key frame to the next smoothly. If you want something to stop before something else happens you need another key frame exactly like the one before it... just offset however long you want to hold that position.

Or... use the "step" interpolation on the key frame.

----------

If you plan a vacation and want to visit a bunch of places... you put red dots on a map and connect them with lines.

You drive to the first place... and... zoom right past it... and go to the next spot on the map... and... zoom past without even slowing down...

Because you only have one point in time for that spot until moving to the next one. You must tell Moho to stop for a specified time using another "copy" of the key frame.
