Original Animation

Copy/Cut Entire Fcurves

If Remove Original Animation is off, selecting this option copies entire fcurves from the animation and stores them in the action source.

If Remove Original Animation is on, selecting this option cuts entire fcurves from the animation and stores them in the action source, then the original animation is removed from the object.

Copy/Cut Keys

If Remove Original Animation is off, selecting this option copies only the keys between the Default In/Out frames and stores them in the action source.

If Remove Original Animation is on, selecting this option cuts only the keys between the Default In/Out frames that you specify, then the original animation is removed from the object.

Ripple Keys

If you are cutting keys from the original animation, select this option to ripple the remaining animation on the object back in time. This applies only if you select Remove Original Animation.

New Source

Action Name

The name of the action source to generate

Number of Items

The number of parameters in the action. This value is for information only and cannot be changed.

Default In/Out

The first and last frames of the new action source.

Once Done Creating the Source

Remove Original Animation

Removes the existing animation from the parameters after creating the action source. For example, you can create a walk cycle then store it as an action and remove the animation, and then immediately create a run cycle, and so on.

Add Source as a Clip in the Mixer

Automatically creates a clip instanced from this source and places it in the animation mixer.

Clip Offset

Sets an offset to the clip’s position on the track in the mixer. Set this to the frame number where you want the clip to start. By default, this is the same frame number as the Default In value.
