There is a setting in the preferences panel for whether or not the animation is played at insert, but there is a catch. Disabling it only works for motions inserted from the content manager. Right-click motions will still play out.
Adding a motion from the right-click menu is also a little different than adding it from the content manager, in that it does not add the entire at once, but records it as it plays out. So you can stop it at any point, and it will not put the remainder of the motion in the timeline.
It will also not advance the timeline.
You might want to mention it as a feature you would like to see in the feedback tracker.
