If it is a shape animation, probably the clips start at frame 50, maybe you can control inside the animation mixer...

the curve is set to cycle and in the fcurve editor i can see the curves cycling before and after the keys, i've even dragged the keys to start at frame yet yet the animation still starts at 50.
i can send you a model of the lattice it may make it easier to figure out.

Hi Pete,

Open an explorer for the heart object and you'll see a 'lattice' property.
Open that up and a key frame may have been set on the 'mute' parameter. If it's not that then the shape animation cycle for the lattice probably
doesn't start until frame 50, so you'll just need to drag the FCurves to
start at frame 1. If this makes the animation short, check Curves->Cycle in
Animation Editor.
The shape animation will have either been done through Shape->Shape Manager
or through the Animation Mixer (ALT+0). Either way you'll still have to go
into Anim Editor to tweak curves.

i have a model of a heart that is beating. this is done with a lattice using 3 set shapes and mixing between them
i have a problem in that i didnt setup the animation. it seems the lattice has been muted for the 1st 50 frames so it doesnt begin beating until frame 50. i cant find how to un mute this animation so it starts from frame one. can anyone help
