Remove Time Warp—
Removes the ability for clips
to be Time Warped and removes any existing Time
Warping from s elected clips.
Tile View—Tiles the selected clip along the width of
the Motion Mixer. The number of duplicated clips
depends upon the clip’s length and the number
of frames displayed across the Motion Mixer.
For example, if a clip is 100 frames long and the
number of frames across the Motion Mixer is 500,
the clip will t ile five times.
Tile R ange—Tilestheselectedclipalongthe
range of the active time segment. The number of
duplicated clips depends upon the clip’s leng th and
the number of frames in the active time segment.
For example, if a clip is 100 frames long and the
numberofframesintheactivetimesegmentis
500, then the clip will tile five times.
Remove Trim/Scale—Removes the trim/scale from
the selected clip or clips.
Delete—Deletes a selected clip or clips from a
track.
Load Source > From File—Opens a dialog w here
you can choose a new BIP or XAF file to replace
selected clips. After s electing the n ew clip, the
Mixer Clip S ource Options dialog (page 2–611) is
displayed.
Loa d S ou r ce > Fr om Bi p ed—Opens the Copy Biped
Animation To Clip dialog (page 2–612)
,whereyou
can choose a biped from which to copy animation
to selected clips.
Note: This tool is only available for biped
object mixes.
Loa d S our ce > Fr om R es erv oi r —Opens the Reservoir
File Groups dialog (page 2–612)
,whereyoucan
choose a clip from the Reservoir to replace selected
clips.
Co py to Biped— Puts the clip’s a nimation onto the
base state of the selected biped, evident w hen
not in Mixer or any other mode. This option is
available only when a single clip is selected.
Note: This dialog is only available for biped
object mixes.
Collapse—Saves a collapsed version of the selected
clip to a new BIP file. Collapsing removes all
scaling, trims, and time warps from the clip, and
prompts for a new BIP file name for the collapsed
version of the clip. The original selected clip is
replaced by the new clip. Collapsing a clip does
notaffecttheselectedclipitself.
Note: This dialog is only available for biped
object mixes.
Transitions menu
Select a transition track to make commands on
this menu active. Right-clicking a transition also
opensthismenu.
Edit—Opens either the Mixer Tra nsition Editor
dialog (Biped Object) (page 2–613)
or the Mixer
Transition Editor dialog (Non-Biped Object)
(page 2–615)
, based on the kind of m ix the
transition is applied to. The dialogs are similar to
the
Tr ansition Editor (page 2–902) accessed from
the Motion Flow rollout.
Optimi ze—Optimizes the selected Transitions.
This uses optimization algorithms similar to those
in Motion Flow.
Conver t To Loopable Clip—Allows you to create
aloopableclipfromatransitionbetweentwo
clips that are clones of one another. The two clips
must share the same source file, meaning they
must point to the same clip in the reservoir and
they must have identical time warps and scales.
Although the two clips don’t have to be created via
cloning, it is probably the best way to create them.
The loopable clip will replace the two original
clips and their transition and will begin exactly
one frame b e fore the transition starts, so at that
