Splitting Motion Groups for Timeline Editing (New for 5.5)

To make it easier for users, iClone binds some data, such as motion clips, keys or switches, together as a group so that in addition to basic editing such as copy and paste, when you drag, loop, accelerate, decelerate, break or delete one of them, the other motion data will also adjust.

However, if you need to individually modify these clips in detail, such as particular keys or switches, then you need to perform the Split feature to ungroup them before you can make further adjustments.

Ways to Generate Grouped Data

Splitting the Groups for Editing Individual Data

In addition to modifying the data group by group, you are able to break a group into pieces so that you are able to individually edit the data inside of it. A talking-walking character with an animated accessory applied with MotionPlus is taken as an example in this section.

  1. After an animated character and accessory is applied with MotionPlus, the data from the file will be grouped in the Timeline as shown.
  2. Right click on any clip-type data in this group and select the Split command from the right-click menu.
  3. The data in the group can be edited independently after the Split command.
