Swap mixer source for a clip ?

Post by grendizer » 31 Jul 2010, 09:09

Hello all
Say I set up some clips in an Animation Mixer track. Now I want one clip to refer to the mixer source B instead of the mixer source A. Is this possible?
Thanks

yeah, I think so, you just have to get in a edit the clip properties, but it would help if you gave a bit more info.

Humm clip properties do not give access to choosing a mixer source.
I just want to change the source for one of my clips, so that this clip uses another source instead of the one it's currently using. This way I can keep all the clip setups (repeats, weights, etc). For now the only way I know is to delete the clip, then drag and drop another source into the mixer's track so it creates a new clip. but with this method I loose all clip setups.

I think what I said is correct, the only other option I can think of is check under the clip menu in the mixer.

here's a screen-shot of what I am talking about ::

Green == clip properties

Red == clip item information

Blue == source

sorry for the shi*y quality but I often use paint for screenshots and .. it doesn't allow one to easily set quality for jpegs.

Thanks for the help. However, I'm still scetpical: the clip item information property page gives the list of Fcurves contained in an animation mixer clip. The column "Src" is just a numbering of these fcurves, it's not related to the animation mixer source.

I think I understand what you intend, and I checked further but can't find anything abut what your talking about specifically.
