When playing a file I'm working on I want the timeline slider to stop at the end of the timeline and stay there and not jump back to zero. Is it possible? It would be nice to be able to stop the timeline slider in the middle just after a part that I'm having trouble with. Is it possible to have an .avi file do the same thing, stop at the end and stay there instead of winking out?

    click the arrow and slide it by hand
    do the same in your .avi player

    In which application? In DAZ Studio, click the Loop button (left-most button, shows an oval with arrows on top and bottom straights) to switch looping off - it turns into two lines with arrows (it still jumps to the first frame after reaching the end, though, it just doesn't play again). You can use the Range boxes to cotrnol which frames are played.

    Start Animation as in Play in AniMate or Start from Frame number? From frame It does not have but Play is there as well as Loop or single play through as well as jump to start or end.

    in animate2 is an "End of Animation" slider
    would be very handy to have that too for "Start of Animation"
    but the boxes in the daz timeline is a Workaround now for me
    would be very nice if gofigure could update this just like the Rotation issue
    but i think he's not interested
