Okay, another new and exciting direction in using the SDK.

Basically, I want a default pose for all of the bones in a rig stored as Keyframes at -1 Frame (standard animation practice).

So far, I have no idea how to set the time to be -1F or how to set each of the keys for rotation and scale. I know that this involves creating a BaseTrack, BaseSequences, and BaseKeys, but that's about it.

Help, please!

Thanks,
Robert

Can I get away with, using 'time' where needed in the keyframe setup process:

BaseTime time = doc->GetTime();
time.SetNominator(-1.0);

Nope. Cannot get away with that!

So, I must set the BaseDocument BaseTime so that it has a minimum time of -2F = BaseTime(-2.0, doc->GetFps()) using doc->SetMinTime(BaseTime(-2.0, doc->GetFps()));

Then I need to set my time in the keyframe setup process using the same formula.

That works. Riddle solved.
