Hi, I am new to iclone. I have football mocap files, with the help of 3dxchange i have converted them into imotion. Now I want to know how can I animate the soccer ball do I have to animate it manually or is there any other option. Please suggest me specific tutorials for the same.

You'd definitely have to do it manually, especially since the ball would be changing speed and direction quite frequently in a proper match. You can, however, save yourself a lot of time by parenting a ball to individual players, animating an entire sequence and then saving that specific sequence, based on a desired camera shot, so you can interchange the animation sequences with different players. I started an animation project a while back, that is my rendition of the 2002 World Cup finals, but I had to put it on the back burner, otherwise I could share some of my progress

You might be able to "fake" certain moves using iClone Physics (parenting a kinematic prop to the feet and hitting a dynamic ball) but it's going to be a lot of animation-by-hand as Dreadmoor said....
