I think it should. Especially if a lot of your animation includes the character walking, falling etc. There are many reason why you might want to collect the data and bring it back into the animation but if it doesn't include the transform data with it a lot of time gets wasted.

I believe it's the (Root to Root alignment) that's throwing you a curve.

Why? I don't understand what you are saying or what that is referenced to.

It does actually save the root transforms into the motion. But if you have the animation alignment tools active (they are by default) then it will load it where you do not expect. If you wish to have it exact, turn off these two tools in the animation menu.

When you collect a clip.... the transform "Matrix" (move, scale, rotate)  is copied and performs well when applied..

When you add another motion to this (Collect Clip)... you want the motion to "Continue" from the last motion...
By default... it does NOT.
The Root of  the added motion.... slides back to (0,0,0) and starts its motion from there.

Therefore, the "transform data" is copied, but you need to turn of "Align Character and Reset Pivot" to obtain the result you expect.

Guys, this is Crazy Talk Animator 3 not iclone.

There's an issue with Crazy Talk 3 I've run into and will post up when I get the chance but basically there is a reason why one needs to collect a clip and re introduce it back to the timeline but when you do this the transform data doesn't get saved so it doesn't come back in with it. And you could go and look for every key frame on the time line and try to erase them, instead of clearing the whole animation from the character with one click, in order to maintain the transform data - before the collected clip is brought back in, but this doesn't always work perfectly and it's also time consuming.

So it is! Well, I don't know then.

It's woefully easy to miss the forum path when looking at messages using the "Latest" option. Sorry about that.

When you can't copy and paste animation (Accurately)...
(this has nothing to do with 2D, or 3D)

This is an "Animation Code".. problem.
...not good.

Feedback Tracker

Rampa no worries, I figured that's what happened.

but...ya it's not good. I've mostly figured a work around but there are still some issues. I don't know I've become cynical of the feedback tracker and the general response from Reallusion in sending support tickets but maybe I'll try feedback tracker again.
