Hi Brad, these are really awesome hacks, I just had a question, when I try the mix master, after keyin gin the the override layer at 0 and move the weight to 100 the control rig collapses in the center, is there a fix for that, thanks in advance.

Hi Brad, these are awesome hacks I just had a question about keying in a override layer, when I increse the weight to 100 after keying at 0 the control rig collapses in the center, do you know if there is some way to fiz this. Thanks.
This sounds like you are in an older version of MotionBulider this only works in 2014+
Otherwise you can do the exact same thing using Clips in story and adjust their weight.
Thanks for your reply, yeah am using the 2013 version at work and they dont seem to be wanting to switch, am realtively new to mobu, could you please give me a bit more details on how this could be done in story thanks in advance,
With story you can insert the current take to story and create a new override track. Make it accept keyframes, (key button) and then set the override track weight to 0, key frame over the rig, a new clip will be created along the override track and this will be the pose keys just like my layer example. You can then copy and paste them in to the maint timeline or just animate there depending on what your needs are.
