I actually had come across that, but it never says how to open the timeline
editor, it just talks about it. Thanks for the find though Thomas!

Do you have the AnimPlugin? Xander's site does not enable downloads 
anymore. I do have a copy though (AnimPlugin.dll) in my archives.

No I don't, I guess for some reason I assumed it came with it. Is there any way
I can get my hands on the plugin?

Thank you! Do I just bring the exe into the plugins folder?

Right. That was the first trouble shooting question: "Is de device 
switched /on/?" ;-)

Normally, most Moray plugins are in the form of a .dll, which is brought 
into the Plugin folder. I do not remember how this was with the 
AnimPlugin as an .exe file. You can try to put it in the folder and see 
how/if it works. Alternatively, you can try to run the .exe file outside 
Moray and see if it installs something in the Plugin folder. Finally, I 
attach here the .dll file I found in my archives, for you to drop in the 
Plugin folder. I guess that that last one is the utility you are looking 
for.

I just re-visited Xander's site: the installation of the plugin is 
clearly explained there:

Woo hoo! I got it installed (and verified by going to view>loaded plugins).
Thanks for all of your help! Annnnnnddd I found the timeline option! For future
reference, go to Render > timeline. It's kind of a dumb place, but whatever
works.

Excellent. Glad it works. After all this time far from Moray-using, it 
took a while to get a focus on what, where and how things Moray where 
residing. Good to see also that there are still people caring about the 
program. Maybe, someday, a new version will see the light...?

Show us your work when you are ready!
