Question Animated Palm Tree

[MDutton]

Hi, I looked in the help index to see if a "paint Effects Mesh Tree" (actually a medium palm tree) could have its annimation turned off or at least slowed down. Preferrably I want the animation gone.

I tried "Paint Effects->Loop Animation but that didnt work.

I also tried the "time" box under attributes, that didnt work.

Any help on how to un-animate such stock objects would be great thanks.

I tried disabling all inputs last night... then the tree dissapears wether its a mesh or still paint effects. The thing wobbles around like crazy and all the things from the help files dont work, including soft and rigid solvers, time attributes, everything fails to keep the damned thing still.

If anyone can draw a mesh tree and see if they can stop it moving and tell me how, then I can finish my video. I have nothing to offer but gratitude and promise to help in return when I get more experienced.
