Ok, noob question.

I've been playing with Mocap, and have studied up on the tutorials here in the forum.

In my example I've animated a character sliding off of a bar chair. He ends in a standing position and now I want him to start walking in a particular direction in my scene.

But when I apply a standard walk motion and hit play, the character rotates 180 degrees facing the opposite direction before the motion starts. How do I fix this so the character maintains the direction I set?
