Ok so I know there's always some adjustments that need to be made when working  with mocap.

I'm hoping I'm just doing something wrong here or there's an easy fix I can apply to all my mocap files.

I've watched all the Reallusion working with mocap videos I could find

Shoulders are an easy fix

I wish there was a set pose I could apply to the hands that I could apply as an animation layer that would just fix these crab claws I got going on here:

I know there's the hand poses under gestures. I am using those but then I feel it often erases whatever mocap performance I imported from the hands

The other issue I'm having trouble with is the hips swaying when especially turning around.

The more I try to fix it by making a separate animation layer and keyframing the hips to stay in the right place the worse it gets and more problems it creates.

I have IC7. IC8 I believe has hand gestures. Here is the online IC8 manual about hand gestures. iClone 8 Online Manual - Setting Hand Gestures

@michaelrbarton  These will fix a hand pose but they also seem to erase out the hand mocap I have.

I want to retain the mocap.
