Search Entire Clip Search the entire clip for an optimized transition start
frame.
Search Near Existing Transition Allows animators to find good transitions
that "are in the ballpark" of their existing transitions. Transitions can be fine
tuned without drastically changing the animation's timing. In general, there
may be several "good transitions", so this feature narrows the range of search
to the ones that are near to the current settings.
Search Range about Existing Transition Allows animators to set a before
and after range of frames to perform a search for other transitions that are
close to the selected transition. Both ranges default to 20 frames around the
selected transition.
Before Set a frame value to search before the existing transition.
After Set a frame value to search after the existing transition.

Like an audio mixer where you add music tracks and use fades and blends to
transition between tracks, the Motion Mixer allows you to mix motion clips.
The Motion Mixer toolbar offers commands that you use to add and delete
biped and non-biped objects to and from the mixer, modify clips, and change
the way tracks in the mixer are displayed.

Interface
Add Max Objects Opens the Max Objects To Mix dialog, which lists all
non-biped objects in the scene. This dialog lets you add objects to be driven
by your mixed animation, as well as name the mix in which they are
contained.
