Applying Idle Motion

An idle motion can be applied into any empty space in the Auto Motion track, where the actor is still without motion, or the animation of the voice clip is transitioning into the next one. Remember that the contestant feels sad at his first try and he is encouraged by the host in the sample script.

1. Drag the play head to the empty space before the two voice clips.
   
2. Switch the Content Manager to the Auto Motion >> 03_Idle library, and select the Sad template to generate the transition effect.
   
3. The idle motion is inserted into the Auto Motion track. You may optionally drag the latter auto motion clip farther or closer to the former one, to increase or decrease the length of the idle motion.
   
4. Playback the project to observe the transition effect.
   

   The actor is still without motions when he is asked by the host to start over.	After applying the idle motion, the actor automatically moves when the host talks.

   Note:

   If you wish to remove the transition effect of the applied idle motion, then drag the play head to the idle motion, and double-click the "_Blank" template in the idle library. The original idle motion will then be replaced with a blank one clear of any motion.
