Or so says the comparison chart on this page:

Please tell me this is just a typo.

That's what the chart says.  Your eyes lie not.

I guess Albembic export and Curve Graph Editor are assumed to be desired by "serious" users willing to pay for such things.

No more "basic" iClone (I assume the even the lowest flavor has full timeline editing), but it sure would be nice to drop the curve editor down one tier.

iClone 7... Character Creator... Substance Designer/Painter... Blender... Audacity...
Desktop (homebuilt) - Windows 10, Ryzen 9 3900x CPU, GTX 1080 GPU (8GB), 32GB RAM, Asus X570 Pro motherboard, 2TB SSD, terabytes of disk space, dual  monitors.
Laptop - Windows 10, MSI GS63VR STEALTH-252, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 (6GB), 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD

I really do think it is a big mistake if the motion graph editor is only for export users. But then, maybe it is something about how it is designed that leaves it kind of 'outside' the core iClone 7 functionality. It should be an animation tool, not just a cleanup one, and if there is only 'one version' of iClone 7 as the adverts say, then what is this then?

"iClone 7 is only available in one edition and includes all iClone 6 features."

Just sayin'.

It'll be interesting to see if very many users would even use a graph editor. It is a very useful thing, but may be more complicated than many users really want to deal with.

The people who would use it are most likely to be the ones who would buy 3DX Pipeline anyway. That is, pros and advanced hobbyists.

Yeah,  I dunno,  graph editors are not terribly complicated,  and make things easier,  not harder. I just don't see the rationale,  it isn't a pipeline feature,  it is an animation tool. And an important one at that.

Another way of saying basically the same thing, I guess, is that anyone who is dedicated to using a graph editor will have no problem paying for it. RL knows this! :)

Anyway, I hope it ends up being extremely useful for anyone who ends up getting it. I was kind of thinking back on tools that have been introduced (mainly in iC5) that just don't get much use. Ones that maybe ended up as kind of "meh!" for most people.

I also don't want to be defending, being righteous, or joining one camp or another. Just thinking back on what I have seen over the years.

Ok,  well how about this then: perhaps the current interpolation settings could be revamped,  more immediate and accessible,  a toolbar icon perhaps, and a clearer graphical representation of what is being eased in/out etc so the tool that does exist is more accessible and effective? More Interpolation shapes like stutters and whatnot.  Then a more complex graph 3ditor that accesses the whole time line would be for the pros. Thoughts? 7.1?

BTW my experience animating in Poser is it is 8mpossible without the graph editor, I hate poser 2014 and earlier at least regarding their dope sheet.  It is literally painful for me to use.
