Move Clip—Moves clips within the Motion
Flow Graph. This does not affect the animation.
Pan—Pans the layout of the clips.
Zoom—Adjusts the view magnification
of the Motion Flow window. Drag up to
increase magnification. Drag down to decrease
magnification.
Zoom R egion—Click Zoom Reg ion mode
to drag a rectangular region and magnify that
region to fill the Motion Flow Graph window.
Fit to W ind ow —Re-sizes the contents to
fit the size of the Motion Flow Graph window.
Save Clip Files—Lets you set a path where
selected clip files can be stored.
Clip Mode—Editbipedfootstepsandlimbsfor
theselectedclip.UseSetKeyontheKeyframing
rollout to set biped limb keys. Clips turn green in
the Motion Flow Graph window in Clip Mode.
Show Script Dependencies—Displays the
scripts that use the selected clip.
If you push the Show Scr ipt Dependencies button
on a shared motion flow graph, it will check all
the bipeds sharing that motion flow for scripts
dependent on the selected clips and t ransitions.
Select R andom Star t Clips—Tu r n on and selec t
clips in the Motion Flow Graph window.
Press
Ct rl +click to add clips. Selected clips are
used by Create Random Motion in the Scripts
group to start on one of the selected clips based
on percentage. If three clips are selected using the
default weighting of 100, then each clip has an
equal chance of b eing the start clip.
Show Ra ndom Per centa ges—Displays clip and
transition percentages in the Motion Flow Graph
window.
Random start clips display in purple and display
their probability of starting a random script. This
also shows the probability (0 - 100) that each
transition w ill b e chosen. Create Random Motion
in the Scripts group uses clip and transit ion
percentages to generate random scripts.
Optimize Selected Transitions—Select one
or more transitions and then click Optimize
Selected Transition to optimize them. Displays the
Transition Optimization dialog (page 2–1058) to
set the location of the transition.
Optimized transitions take time to compute. A
progress bar is displayed when you use this feature.

compute an optimized transition.
Show Optimal Transition Costs—Displays
costs in the Motion Flow Graph window. The
lower the number the better the transition.
Check All Transitions—Checks the graph for
overlapping transitions and transitions whose
length is too long for the clip . It informs you of any
problems, or tells you that none have been found.
Auto Clip Names—Names
the clip based on the name of the motion file.
