All of my animations start at once?

All of my animations start at once.

I am very new and my terminolgy may be way off.

I drag a Genisis 8 Female model into my scene. 

Then I click the Posing Tab.

On the bottom time line I right click and 'Add empty block' and drag the sloder to the end of the empty block

Then back to the posing tab and I use the ARM sliders and move her arms all the up, then down then up, then down adding empty block each time.

When I click play all works fine... Her arms wave up and down several times the way they should.

Now the problem is when I add another empty block and move her legs all the way up... When I click play her arms and legs move at the same time and not in order..

I tried adding a new track and the same thing happens. I did notice a long arrow point to the beginning I have attached a screenshot to show you what I mean.

Basically I want animation to happen in a sequence. I don't want all animations to start at the same time.

 

Thanks

    All of my animations start at once. I want the arms to move then i want the legs to move. I do not want the arms and legs to move at the same time.

    I drag a Genisis 8 Female model into my scene. 

    Then I click the Posing Tab.

    On the bottom time line I right click and 'Add empty block' and drag the slider to the end of the empty block

    From posing tab I use the ARM sliders and move her arms all the up, add empty block, move her arms all the way down.

    When I click play her arms go up and down. This is the way I want it.

    At the end of the timelime i add another empty block and this time i move her legs up.. MY PROBLEM is that her Arms and legs go up at the same time. I want her arms to go up then her legs to go up.

    I attached a screenshot that might help. The arrow in the screenshot starts at the first frame. Can i make this arrow say start at 4 seconds?

    Thanks

    Block 1 - Arms Up

    Block 2 - Legs up

    I want the arms to go up then I want the legs to go up.

     

    I do not want them to both start at the first frame.

    Now when I click play the arms and legs go up at the same time.

    How can I make it where there go up 1 at time... Like arms up then legs up. Not at the same time.

    Need help with timing.

    Any timeline software I have ever used plays things in order that they appear on the timeline. With DAZ everything starts playing at the first frame.

    From my screenshot I would only want the animation block to play when it is there time. When the playhead is over it.

    How can I make the timeline work like a real timeline? Now when I click play at the first frame all animations start. I do not want this to happen. I only want the animation to happen at the time I set.

    See Screenshot

    I can't help you with animations, as I usually only do still renders, but...

    Suggestion: Move the thread over to Commons or to DAZ STudio section, as the people who do a lot of animation don't usually frequent the New User segment of the forum.

    How can I start different animations at different times? 

    Block 1 Arms UP

    Block 2 Legs Up

    When I hit play the Arms and legs go up at the same time. 

    I want the Arms to go up, Then I want the legs to go up. NOT BOTH AT THE SAME

    It looks like you attempted to post your new threads to The Commons. If you would like the thread moved, please ask and we can do that for you.

    This seems like such an easy question. It was reccommended above that I ask this question in commons....

    I am going to delete this and ask in commons. This is crazy that ever single post be approved.

    Since no one has been able to help I think you may need to open a Technical Support ticket. You can, if you wish, move the thread to the Commons by editing the first post.
