Speed, Loop and Blending

1. In the timeline, select a clip from either the Viseme (for only), Auto Motion or the Motion Clip track.
2. Click the Speed button, on the timeline.
3. Drag the end (right edge) of the clip to change its speed. The longer the clip, the slower it is- and vice versa.

   	Move your cursor to the end of the clip, it will then change into a double-headed arrow.
   	Squeeze the clip to speed up the action.
   	Stretch the clip to slow down the action.

1. In the timeline, select a clip from either the Viseme (for only), Auto Motion or the Motion Clip track.
2. Click the Loop button, on the timeline.
3. Drag the end (right edge) of the clip to change its loop time. The clip then shows a series of connective rectangles, each rectangle represents one loop.

   	Move your cursor to the end of the clip, it will then change into an single-headed arrow with a plus box.
   	Move your cursor towards the right to loop the clip.

The blending can happens between clips in a single track or in different tracks. The rules are listed below:

Blending Between Clips on Motion Clip and Auto Motion Tracks

• By default, motion clips will blend with the clips (auto motion or idle motion clips) in the Auto Motion track, which makes the transition between two motion clips smoother.
  
• If there is no clip shown in the Auto Motion track, then when you play back the project, the actor will be still within these empty time frames until it goes to the start frame of the blending part of the next motion clip.
  

Blending Between Clips on Single Track

If you wish to manually blend two clips together, then follow the steps below:

1. Pick the latter of the two clips. The blending part will be shown before the clip. (Empty rectangle)
2. Drag the clip to connect to the previous clip. The actor will gradually change the facial movement during the interval duration.
