Story mode Control Rig Problem

#1

Hi All,

In my continuing quest to learn and become proficient in MotionBuilder, I am trying to use the story window to loop and modify an animated walk cycle.
I have my character walking in a straight line.
I used the razor tool to splice the clip, rotate the new cips and then cross-blend them in the character track so the character walks around the corner.

There is some significant foot slipping as my character makes the turn so I tried adding a subtrack to my character track so I could keyframe some adjustments.
The problem I am having is that when I try and set a key on the subtrack using the control rig, the control rig, skeleton and model shift to a new location in the scene.

Does anybody know what is causing this? How do I keep the character in place while I make my edits?

Thanks for any advice.

Argghhhh…I may have posted in haste. Looming deadlines will do that!
It seems I was adding a character track instead of an animation track.
It seems to be working ok now. Sorry for the post! :blush:
Mods delete if you feel like it!
