To replace a clip in the Reservoir:
Use the Load File command to replace a highlighted source or clip.
1 In the Reservoir list, click a single item.
The software permits replacing only one source or clip at a time.
2
On the toolbar, click Load File.
The Open dialog appears.
3 Find the directory containing the clip files to load, highlight the desired
file, and then click the Open button.
The file loads and replaces the highlighted item in the Reservoir list and
the Motion Mixer. If you replace a source item, all of its clips are replaced
as well. If you replace a clip, all of its references are replaced.
To save an instanced clip to a new clip:
Once you apply a clip instance to a different biped in Motion Mixer, the
software automatically fits the motion to the biped. You can then save the
modified motion from the Reservoir.
1 In the Reservoir list, highlight the clip whose motion you want to save.
2
On the Reservoir toolbar, click the Save File button. Use the Save As
dialog to specify a name and location for the motion file, and then click
the Save button.
The motion file is saved as fitted to the biped to which the clip is applied.
NOTE The motion file is saved at its original length, whether or not you
changed the length of any instances of the clip in the Motion Mixer.
To save multiple instanced clips from the Reservoir:
1 On the Reservoir toolbar, click Batch Save.
This operation does not depend on which items are highlighted in the
Reservoir list.
2 In the Save Reservoir Items dialog, turn on items you want to save. For
each source/clips group, you can save the source or any combination of
clips, but not both.
