Note that this method will not import the video's audio, and you will need to extend your end frame to a larger number than the default selection of 48. You can adjust this by going into the animation tab and clicking the &quot;END FRAME&quot; box inside the X-Sheet. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Animation Labs]][[Category:Dragonframe]]</div>
