: Setting Animation> Make Movie opens the Make movie window. Please refer to Rendering Animations for more information on rendering animations in Poser.

Recalculate Dynamics: Choose one of the options in the Animation> Recalculate sub-menu to recalculate all hair dynamics, all physics dynamics, or all dynamics. For more information about dynamics, see The Hair Room and Using Bullet Physics.

Bake Transforms: For more information about the Bake Transforms command, see Bake Transforms.

Loop Interpolation: If your animation contains looping cycles (such as a walk) that do not match evenly (causing jerky motions between the end of one loop and the start of the next), toggling Animation> Loop Interpolation on can smooth out your animation.

Quaternion Interpolation: Quaternion interpolation is a mathematical formula that can smooth rough animations. If your animation remains jerky after editing keyframes and all other efforts at smoothing it out, selecting Animation> Quaternion Interpolation can possibly help. This option should be toggled on as a last resort.

Skip Frames: Selecting Animation> Skip Frames toggles skipping frames on and off. This option can help speed playback.

Mute Sound: Selecting Animation> Mute Sound toggles sound muting during animation playback. A check mark appears when muting is enabled, and vice versa.
