When editing an imported animation clip, how do you add additional properties to be modified? For example, I'm editing a clip that has only rotation properties, but I need to access scale.

This seems like a very basic function that isn't covered in the Animated Properties section of the manual, nor any tutorials I can find. 

Hi Peter!

Once again thank you for an awesome asset. I have been working with it a lot, cutting our MoCap files directly in Unity. I have some ideas for functions that would make my workflows a lot easier and thought I'd let you know. If you think it's better without them that's totally fine, I just wanted to share my suggestions!

- Renaming clips

- Selecting timeframes (right now I can set "playback start" and "playback end" and then "Crop to selection", this would be easier if I could just select a part of the clip)

- Duplicate just a portion of a clip to a new clip. I often record a few animations in one sitting (into one file) - this would make it a lot easier to separate them out into individual clips (right now I duplicate the whole clip, set playback start/end and then "Crop to playback")

- "Crop to playback" freezes my editor for about a minute; trying to crop a 6-second clip out of a 3-minute recording

- Playback pause

- Scrolling the window with the green playback marker to the side

- Typing in a frame number to jump to. I watch clips to find out where the section is I want to edit out (e.g. "around frame 7000"), I see the frame number in the editor. It would be great to jump to a frame number instead of scrolling and clicking around to see where frame 7000 is.

- "Key all modified in all the bones that were modified", now I sometimes have to look for the red ones :-)

- Keyframe reduction, i.e. set FPS down from 100 to 30 while keeping the same clip length, just deleting/interpolating a bunch of data

As I said: these are just suggestions for quality-of-life improvements that would make my workflows a lot smoother. Thank you so much for providing us with this awesome asset!

Best,
Jens

Hello, I am a new user and I am really liking this package. I provide these thoughts for your consideration, and thank you for UMotion's existence. I apologise if I have missed a feature that provides this functionality.

I have found that I spend a lot of time scrolling up and down the list of animated properties. I think that the simplest solution would be to have a search bar in the empty space of the bar at the top, that would filter the list as you type. Ideally, it would stay filtered until it is cleared or replaced with other text.

I have created a mock-up:

Beyond this, I have thought about the possibility of being able to view the list as a collapsible hierarchy as an option...

Hi!

First off, thank you for this amazing asset. We are using a MoCap suit to record our animations and UMotion to adjust small errors in the data and cut the animations. Everything looks fine in the Umotion editor, but after exporting the animations as fbx, the character only does weird stuff.

I have searched for solutions on this forum and also found the notes in your FAQ with possible fixes, but none of them worked for me.

Here's our reading guy in UMotion:

And here he is during gameplay:

I tried:

- exporting the animation into his fbx instead of into a new file (a solution that wouldn't work with all our animations anyways), but it did not fix the issue.

- exporting as *.anim, which fixed the issue but resulted in a 800MB file, which is not viable

- adjusting the avatars and "enforcing T-Pose", which did not change the results

- assigning the character's avatar to the animation fbx, which did not work because the transform "Buechereibesucher mit Brille_geriggt" could not be found. Upon closer investigation I found that the exported fbx has the same transforms, just a bit lower in the hierarchy. Here's our character model's avatar:

And here's the auto-generated one from the exported animation fbx:

After hours of trying stuff, I hope you can help me figure this out. The animation looks fine in the UMotion editor but then messes up once I try to export and use it in the game itself.

Thank you!
Jens

my blendshape animations are saved as unity .anim, I want to be able to sync this up with the mocap and then edit it in the editor. however, it's saved as a generic .anim. when trying to import it, it only loads the first frame of the animation and gives the warning " skipped animating generic objects that have no humanoid bone in their parent hierarchy" 
If i try to convert it through umotion to humanoid it won't work since it counts as only being one frame long.

Hi Peter,

i made a custom uma model, i used the fbx for creating the uma models also for animating

normal animations work just fine, but some require to interact with additional game objects which also contains some bones

anyway, when i run these animations on the uma character, they don't interact with the gameobject.
I saw your post which reccomends to export the uma generated model on runtime and animate that instead

i have done that, also set the generated fbx as humanoid and put it in t-pose
But as you can see in the screenshot (left is uma generated, right is the exported uma generated model)
it still ignores the additional game object

since this pole has to bend at a later point in the animation it would be much easier to animate both objects at the same time
is there a way to fix this issue or do i have to make 2 seperate animations?

Best Regards

Rene

PS: the exported uma model also contains the pole

Hi Peter,

I think I'm simply looking in the wrong direction, but can it be that the ability to pause in the Clip Editor is not available anymore? When I hit spacebar, the playhead jumps back to the place where I started it from. I want it to pause at the frame where I hit space instead. How can I enable this?

Best, 
Maarten 

How to save modification made to key?

Just noticed that the _Help_ → _About UMotion_ menu item is missing.

I've downloaded the latest Robot Kyle from the asset store.  When I add him to the Pose Editor I get an error box saying that he's a Generic (Legacy).

What does this mean, in practical terms?  Should I do something to upgrade it to Humanoid or Generic?
