Delete Removes a highlighted clip from the Reservoir. All instances of
the clip are also removed from the Motion Mixer.
Clean Similar to Delete, but only removes clips from the Reservoir that
are not used in the Motion Mixer.
Auto Clip Names Names the clip based on
the name of the motion file. Turn off to name a clip yourself.
Source / Clipname list
The Source / Clipname List displays all the clips you have in the Motion Mixer
Reservoir. Four pieces of important information can be gathered from this
list:
■ Drive location where the clips are stored.
■ Which clips are currently being used in a mix.
■ How many times each instance of a clip appears in the Mixer (Refs).
■ Which clips are simply being held in the reservoir, as opposed to being
used in the Mixer.
As you add clips to a track, from the
Tracks menu on page 3755 or by
right-clicking a track, they are automatically added to the Reservoir. If the clip
is a new adaptation on page 7900, the name of the clip is assigned an incremental
suffix, such as 1 or 2.
The Refs (Reference) column tells you how many times a clip
instance on page
8015 has been used in the Motion Mixer, or if it has not been used at all. If an
instance shows a Refs value of 1 or more, it means the instance has been used
that many times. If an instance shows a Refs value of zero, it means the clip
was once used by one or more bipeds, but is not currently used on any tracks.
If a clip has been added to the reservoir, but has never been placed in the
Motion Mixer, only the source path will be listed and no Refs value is displayed.
Clip Status field
The Clip Status field appears at the lower left of the Reservoir and gives you
information about how a particular clip has been used. You can get file
information, such as the source location of the BIP or XAF file. Clip
