Does anyone know where I can get help on using the Trax editor?

I am trying to set non-destructive keys on a walk cycle skeleton, according to the work flow in the Learning for Maya book. But every time I do this I get really weird translations on my control locator and on locators that I didn't set a key on!

I would mind knowing if it is possible to covert clips back to regular keys in case I give up and end up key framing the whole thing.

thanks in advance.

if u wanna have a smooth blend between 2 clips in the trax editor u should select the clip u wish to be blended and open its attribute and make sure u change its offset from relative to absolute that way the animation wont rewind from the last pose of the previews animation clip.

if u face any other problem with the trax editor useualy the attribution menu cahracter mapper can help ya most of the time so keep an eye there.
