Maya Time Editor Part 5 - Blending and Retiming

Man Steven, your match poses tool is so elegant!! Tried to do something similar with splicing mocap together but couldnt get it nearly as smooth. amazing work!

Great explanatory series on the Time Editor Steven, thanks a lot! This is hands down some of the best Maya tutorial material I have seen.

I am running into a issue where the timewrap line in graph editor not showing up. I create and edit time wrap, then I go back to time editor to reselect clip, but it does' not show up in graph editor. I am not sure what i am missing?

great videos so far :) learned a lot and filled some gaps :)
sadly the relocation isn't working for me ;(

Thank you, My Oh Maya. I rewatch these videos for help in navigating the Time editor interface, and resolving unexpected outcomes in my animation. Here's a question for any reader with Maya knowhow: Can Time Warp be applied to a group of clips?
I know how to retime a single clip with Time Warp, but I can't seem to retime several clips as a group. Suppose I had a clip of a bipedal character taking 2 steps, and placed several copies of that clip end to end, forming a walk cycle. How could I edit the retiming curve for the walk cycle so the character walks gradually slower and slower?
I grouped the clips, selected the group, went to "Retime->Create and Edit Time Warp." The Graph editor opened, and I selected the TimeWarp object in the graph outliner, but there is no Retiming curve in the graph view. edit, 09/17/20: I suppose I could retime each individual clip, but then I may as well be using the graph editor. Probably the best solution is to bake the walk track into one long clip, and then retime the long clip.
addendum, 09/17/20: Maybe this is outside the scope of blending clips, but how would one edit the interpolation of a transition _between_ clips? If you overlap clips in the time editor, it is possible to create a custom curve to control the interpolation of the blend, but if you space 2 clips apart in the time editor, and choose "Create Transition" from the context menu, there is no option to create a custom curve to control the transition. Why not? and how else is it possible to alter the transition _between_ clips?

how can i have different animations for the only some specific parts. meaning how can i switch part of the character's animation with another while keeping the other parts with their own animation

[Alice_Longinuse]

After use match pose relocator why my second clip animation become vibrating so much ? Btw my clip has fracture fps

[pallavbhojak]

can i use twin machine after blending both animation to adjust time instead of adjusting the curves in graph editor?

[Climberfx]

Wonderful, so, i have a question: Can i transfer, or copy the add clip from a clip to another one?

Not working with Mixamo animation. I have only joints and no controls

[TGSuineg]

I can't stop looking at the model's feet as it moves.

Previous problem was the Time Warp didn't actually bake. I presume the time curve edit actually bakes into the source with the Time Editor?

[ayze]

is there any way adjust individual controllers during blend two clips? for example, what if I want to blend upper body little longer than right or left foot? instead of blending whole body part with same timing? because sometimes upper body rotation is a lot different than foot position? so if you give 10 frames blending too whole body feet position matches but upper body need more time to blend smoother. any idea?

[JorgeRodiles]

it is possible to have two characters in the same scene?
