You have to exit game mode with F11 before you can move your mouse pointer in movie mode.
Why does my animation stop too soon?
You may need to make your shot longer. For more information, see Manipulating shots.
How can I move a gun to the position of a character's hand?
Lock the gun to the hand, use the Zero preset on the gun's animation, and unlock the gun. For more information, see Working with locks and List of procedural presets.
How can I make a gun follow a hand's existing animation?
