A very simples question about using CLIPS (SOLVED)

Hey guys, i hope someone could help me on this:

I am trying to mix 2 different animation clips (both i created importing the MOTOR examples files that comes with xsi)

the 2 starts on the same position, so i am trying to offset one of them for mix both properly.

But my problem is:

every time i try to offset any of them, the one i am trying to offset jumps to the intial position...
its like they are TIED up.

I've tried this tecnique with simple animations, like using a simple BALL bouncing and it worked.

Wondering if i made something wrong when i ploted the motor files.
I noticed tha global position is not present on the motor files (GlobalSRT). Could be that?

How can i fix this?

After hours struggling against ACTIONS and CLIPS i finally discovered that was a pivot problem (i was moving in local, changing to GLOBAL(cog) fixed.

Beside that i was not selecting the right parts of the character. So i rigth-clicked and choose:

select driven objects (pose offset only) SOLVED as well.


Just something is still messing up here:

the head SPINS 360 degrees when is transitioning from one clip to another.
Is there any special thing to fix that?

Head spins are tricky, but you could try animate not in Euler orientation, but some other one - or animate with "Add" rotation and save that in the clip instead of the typical "local euler". Might help?
