merging two takes together?
I know there must be a way to do this, I suspect using the track and story editor, but I definitely need any assistance I can get. What I’m trying to do is merge two separate takes into one move. I have one character toasting and clinking glasses with another character but both were captured separately. Can I merge the two separate takes into one so both characters can be edited together? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Using story..
kia-ora ,
Your suspicions are correct! if you use story mode to create two character tracks and insert each performance to the appropriate track you will be then able to plot both characters onto the same take . |

another way is to save the takes as separate files...for example
take_01 has the first character take_02 has the second character save them as separate files, open take_01 file>merge, select the scene with take_02 in Merge Options rename take_02 to take_01 in the "As Take..." field RMB on Element and choose Append Merge now you'll get both takes merged into take_01 if your characters have rigs with the same names, be sure to add namespaces to all the nodes because MB will add a number to every node that has the same name as the one already existing in the scene. But of course story is also a very good way Hope this helps __________________

I'm looking for a solution to a similar problem. I have only one character, her motion is in Take001 but her lipsync is in Take002, how do I combine the Takes without loosing the motion? I'd be grateful to hear any suggestions. - Dr.Bucktooth
