I have 2 really nice walkcycles I have created on a reference model. The end pose is the same as the start pose. This results in a 33 frame walkcycle. However when I export the .eani file of the animation for use in other scenes, it stretches the sequence out to 41 seconds which throws off the timing. I'm exporting via the animation drop down panel in XSI 5.11
I have also heard that using a repeating cycle may be even a better way for working with cycles, rather than using the animation mixer and stretching it out so it repeats but I have had quite a bit of issues with them.

That details the issues with a similar mesh in even more detail (its a 50 frame walkcycle in that case). And contains the files needed to reproduce the mistake.
