You very kind..but hold the presses :w00t:.... I just noticed if you Right-Click on the Look-At timeline there is a "Release" function that will add a release-key. Still I wish you could do that from the Tab Look-At menu ;)

When you add that second anim you might try the "Align" function by Right-Clicking on the second anim file in the timeline...experiment with the options in the "Align" menu that pops up and see if that helps.

I just tried from scratch and hey no sliding! Last time I tried I had an idle motion, then applied one of the mocap animations, didnt think that would cause an issue.

Oh well, now I know.

Thanks again.

Have you done any complete movies?

Probably need to know more about your workflow. That doesn't "normally" happen. Maybe if another animation is added one might need to use the "Align" or the other "Motion Setting Options" available.

Typically Starting with a " fresh" avatar that has no animation then adding a MoCap/anim from a collection, like that, doesn't cause any foot-sliding to speak of, at least not for me.

For me the issue (sometimes) is when I have an avatar with some animation already applied and then try to enhance it by adding some "Motion-Puppet" or "Direct-Puppet" moves then I might t I get some sliding around but even that doesn't happen all the time..I'm sure it has to do with messing with the avatar's "Motion-Root"

Ideally you might need to post an little animation of what you are doing...if you have a "screen-recorder"...

Hey, 

You done some really great stuff there, plenty to learn for me.

I am tinkering just now with iClone and something that bugs me is, when I load say a mocap motion like the City Life audience or something, when the animation plays, the feet slip and slide everywhere! How do I stop the feet moving, did they mocap them on ice?

I have a story in mind and I want to do the whole thing in iClone, I will do it even if it hurts lol

I need make time to watch more of your content on YT.

I'm still learning something everyday and I got iClone about 11 years ago!!!!:P  You sound just like me....so don't let the learning curve stop you. I started making short movies pretty soon after getting iC4....and ya know that's the only way you can learn the program is to... just do it!!!! Make all the mistakes like me!!

Click on my YouTube channel link below to scroll through years of my silliness with iClone. I'm sure you find stuff that will make you say...I can do much better than that!!!!:D

Are you quite advanced with iclone now? I bought it last year along with some motions and various props and characters.

I have a great imagination and wondered if I could kinda make a movie with iclone but I have been so frustrated with it, perhaps impatient.

One thing that springs to mind that annoys, is when you purchase a set like say a street (Sinister's New York) only to find your characters are way too small! 

I'm not into the tech side of it, I just wanted to try and make a movie, even if it was a little rough.

I am going to persevere this time around however. I am holding out for iclone 8, I thought this was due last September.

Glad the "work-around"  worked for ya!   It used to work fine... you could put down a "Set-Free" anytime you needed but now you MUST first have a "Look-At" which certainly isn't the way I need to work at least!!! It was never address for me in the Feedback-Tracker either.

That seems to work feels clumsy but yeah, I'll need to play more with it to see how it feels.

Thanks
